looks good; like the tile itself - would have looked a bit better had you staggered the joins though (overlapped them) but thats just IMO
nice work nonetheless

Started doing the grouting today, what a shitty time consuming job! Got bored after about 2 hours and given up for the night :lol:

Good work Matt :thumbs: get them cleaned up then get some slate sealer on them, will make them nice and shiny (if you want that finish) and will also make them easier to clean, i prefer the look of stone tiles when sealed as they look a lot more expensive and professional.

About ten hours I think, but I could definately do it quicker next time now I know what im doing. I was using the washing up bowl to mix the adhesive so spent ages cleaning it properly between mixes so i didnt ruin it, woulda saved loads of time if i just bought another bowl :lol:

Sorry about the poor pics, the flash on my phone has broken since it got soaked with sea water :lol: I'll get one more daylight pic tomorrow. Ive never done tiling before so was also a good learning experience, didnt do too bad a job :thumbs:

Had to remove the rest of the wood block flooring that was there before, was stuck down really well and took ages of brute force to get it all up :lol:


Floor ready to tile


Half way there


and how it is now...


I ran out of adhesive with two tiles left to do, but its not the end of the world cos thats where it joins the kitchen which i am also gonna do the same over xmas when i fit the new kitchen, so its only gonna be like that for a few weeks. Just got to do the grouting now and clean up the adhesive off the tiles, then job done. Need to get a nice big plant in the corner too to finish it off, slowly coming together though :thumbs:
