Great job. I tried tile setting tile ONE time and I too learned a valuable lesson ........ Don't do it again. I got asked a lot if I meant to set them at that angle ................. sigh.
[:D][:D]
Did that strip of smaller tiles set in a bit shallower than the big ones. I did something similar in my kitchen and those smaller tiles were thinner so they were kinda sunk in. I wish I would have shimmed them out to be flush with the other tile.
Yep thats one of the mistakes that I know how to do now after the fact [:D]
I can see a few mistakes, the most won't... Not bad, not bad at all...
yeah, after you get it done thats when you fig out the oh crap why Id do that and thanks the first one is always a pain to figure out [:D][:D]
you forgot the hole in the seat?
nope no need for a hole its put in with a 1/4 inch drop for every foot so plenty of run off [:p]
You'd think the "craftsmen" would do a nice job,, but I'd say 80% of the work is somewhere between "substandard" and "crap".
Your tile job is PROBABLY better than what you'd find in the Presidential palace,, (minus the mistakes).[:D]
Have yet to see a house / room that is built square or the walls plumb. Right there is a big part of the problem. Sometimes they will make the finish on the walls (concrete, troweled on) thicker in areas to achieve a relatively square area. Thicker means the wall cement can be 1/4" to 3"+ thicker from one corner to the next.
