Ok, I did the kitchen splashbacks and practised on some old boards.. but that is it.

always looks good when wet.. lets see how it dries!

I can't plaster for love nor money.

Looks like I put it on with a spade.

Just been reading through your post, All I can say is excellent work!

Looks like you have an eye for quality and detail. How long has this project taken you so far? I've got the bathroom to do, which I'm hoping to starting after doing one of the bedrooms and try completing it before Christmas. Just hope I've got enough time left. Having a TV in the bathroom is awesome, it's going to look ace once it's complete. Keep the updates coming

Hi, I reckon its taken just over 6 weeks so far... quite a while but it is literally all built from scratch and ive done the lot myself. Thanks for the kind words.

Bit more of an update, holes drilled, fiddly tiles laid and flush channel installed for frameless shower screen. Soil stack also boxed in.

Finally someone who is as big of a Mapei fanboy as me :)

Im usually screeding with my Mapei t-shirt, mixing bucket and mapei screed.

Does make the lads on site laugh!

old gulley, too high. So new one bought, adjusted, cut to fit and mosaics adjusted to fit the smaller footprint

Looks much better and more importantly, the gulley is lower than the tiles!

and niches / tray all sealed ready for grouting

Talking of grouting.. some Epoxy grout ready to go

Looking very nice

I like the use of the small tiles in the recessed area - are those on a mat of individual ?

What size tiles have you used on the walls ?

davemulheran · Post by **davemulheran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:40 pm

Mosaics are on a 30cm x 30 cm sheet

Wall tiles are 330x500

thanks :)
