Sort of first proper job tomorrow. It's for a friend of my wifes but i had not met her until the other day when i went round to look at the job. Have done a few jobs at home and one for a friends parents to get my feet wet as it were but feel the pressure is on more for this job to get a great finish.

It's only a splashback in a kitchen but has thrown up a few issues to get round and we all have to start somewhere i suppose.

Roll on tomorrow!

usually the only hard part with a splashback is the window/s and using the corner beads. make sure the walls and tiles near the window are straight. if they've got a slide in cooker be careful that the worktops are level with each other. if not its a bugger to rectify. good luck and have fun, and remember there's always people on here to help out with advice.

All the best mate, remember this is the start of building a top notch reputation, so take all the time you need to make the job spot on.

Thanks fellas.

Its a splashback on two walls going a little way up a window reveal and using square edge trim all around. Undecided as to whether to use the trim flush with the tiles or to leave a 2mm gap to grout in between the tiles and trim. Whats the general consensus on this idea?

 

[Gazzer]

No gap.

:hurray:Good Luck:hurray:

You sound as though you are ready to enjoy yourself
Gap for me - just enough to get a joint of grout in.
