I tell ya, she is making an absolutely PUKKA job.
Considering they are MASSIVE tiles and we are using a narrow Grout Line (shows every bit of imperfection), they look MINT.
We have staggered the rows too which makes it even harder.
She put one on while I was 'taking a PF break' earlier and it was so good, I just let her get on with it. I'm just doing the cutting.
She is putting one on as we speak, there is no stopping her, I may even bugger off to bed in a minute.
Night Beccy.

Tell her that she isnt supposed to put her arm through the hole in those public toilets - the bloke is meant to sticks his tackle through there! What public loo is that anyway? Looks posh!

you could have removed the mirror, basin and pedestal b4 starting, poor lass working around everything. on a serious note though its all in the preperation and planning, will be interesting to see when its finished. all i can say is tiling as a lot more to it than meets the eye, if done incorrectly it can devalue your house considerably. im a ceramic tiling specialist before any one asks. every one say's its ok lad ive bought big tiles so it shouldnt take long, what they dont realise is that it takes a lot longer, the slightest deviation in the wall is all it takes to knock the entire tiling out. often enough you have to remove the tiles and work backwards allowing for the walls shape. keep up the good work and a tip use a trowel which has a toothed edge as you will be applying to much adhesive, any excess adhesive remove asap with a damp cloth as it saves a lot of time when you come to grout.

Cheers Sean for the advice.
The hardest part of doing this Bathroom is that we have to keep it functional, and it is going to take a few weeks. Everything is being moved around.
Believe me, if we succeed in creating the look that we visualise, whilst still being able to use the Bathroom for the duration, we will have achieved the almost impossible. This is by far the hardest room we have done yet (and we only have one more to go after this!!).
We are using a Toothed Trowel, but feel that we have been applying the Adhesive slightly too thick on this wall, but as we have started, we will have to finish that wall the same. Its not that bad anyway.
We always knew that our choice of 30x60cm Tiles would be VERY difficult to lay, but have never let something like that alter our choice.
