My disco dancing day's have well and truly gone ..lol
Walls are portrait & do line up with the floor tiles (only on the end wall of course). This does of course vary slightly at the edge of the room as 2mm grout joint on walls & 3mm on floor. Everything was the customers exact choice mate.....had the below plans to work to. I would have put them on the ceiling if he told me & paid me to!!!!
The only change he made as I was fixing was the layout of the bond of the tiles to the right of the mosaic.
Lol! How did you guess John!? He worked on the channel tunnel among many other famous jobs. Now retired.
I did a job for a graphic designer and he had laid out the plans exactly the same tile for tile, but he wasn't that smart, he forgot the grout joints and had the window slightly out of position which in turn threw everything out, so I taught him a lesson and told him to go and buy 2 more boxes of tiles as he'd bought the exact number of tiles required
One of my customers asked what tolerances I worked to. I told him I was training to be a brain surgeon but the tolerances weren't fine enough so I changed my career to tiling, made him smile.
Or like my plumber says when you ask him what tolerances he works to, he just says if he's in the right street that close enough, with a wry smile.
So, the reason he didn't want the mosaic feature in line with the waste / in the middle of the shower tray was because he wanted you to use less tiles? Shame, it does look a bit wonky doesn't it?
Great grout match to wall tiles Jeffy, can't even see which way the grout lines run on them walls....!
Its a wonder we met up with the French with him on the project then, but then again, was it really a good job we did?
