Just

Long old day today, Tiling 500x500 and got a step to do and the kitchen company has supplied me with l shape trim same size as the tile

Just run your grinder along the back of the tile

Would there be any heat benefit from that size mat

I tell a lie it’s actually a 1.5m mat I’ve just remembered. It’s n a small porch, it’s 200w mat, I can’t see it warming the room but it might take the chill off Slightly. Could have done with a bigger mat really, but that’s electricians measurements for you.

I didn't even get offered a brew whilst working at home! Time for a new wife perhaps?!

Started a nice job Monday, local etc but the customer I’m not sure if she is all there as she keeps adding to the work scope, today she bought pattern border tiles ( 100x10) 50p each and said can you do anything with these ( all chipped etc ) I just looked at her funny when she said maybe a row of white ( 450x250 ) these border, row black ( haven’t even seen or know about them) then a row of border and have the grout different colours as well.

And to top it off she showed me the floor tiles 600x600 ish from b and poo.
Why me

I put my grinder blade into my index finger this afternoon at 4pm.
Decided two things -
1) time to go home.
2) stop trying to cut fiddly little pieces using a grinder.

My finger nail stopped the blade and I think the heat cauterised it.
Throbbing now!

Hence the purchase?

@hmtiling, @impish I think your wife would prefer to have all your bits in place and the £1000 metro saw than a fat pocket with parts of you missing

Crazy logic maybe but if I had really damaged my finger the lost time off work would cost loads more than a decent saw which would have prevented an accident!?
I had to take 4 weeks off after finger surgery 4 years ago. That really hurt financially.
