Tiling - easy with the right tools!

9 - 17 November 2018

Tiling is easy, if you have a good tile cutter.  We bought an expensive one years ago, to tile the little shower in the shed when we lived in the camper van, but despite its expense, it has always been a struggle to use.  Dave was getting blisters from it, so we couldn't work very fast.  Then Rowan said he'd been given one and did we want to try it, and after that, things proceeded more quickly.

 Struggling with our tile cutter

 I started tiling round the bath.  After lots of thought about the best place to start, we proceeded to choose perhaps the worst place, as was revealed as the work progressed, and lots of tiles needed cutting.

 Dave intricately chipping out a curve to go round the toilet soil pipe, using my mosaic-ing tools.  It turned out to be a very neatly done job.

 Dave takes off the sink and sorts the plumbing.  

Then we measure and cut the tiles to fit over the fixings, and the last tile goes in.  Hurrah!
