    Gap from last tile before ceiling

    Hi all! Might be an easy question for the pros! I have a 12x14 tile that I am going to vertically stack to the ceiling. Not too fancy. However from the top of the tub to the ceiling is about 76" which would be 3 tiles (about 72" with a little for the 1/16" grout) That would leave about a 3.5"...

    Why does my post keep auto merging with my last post?

    We had this set a bit different for each user group. Over the years it worked at the time okay. But now I've set them all for 1440 minutes, or 24hrs rather. So the weekly posts like @Tile Fix Direct and @antonio will add as a new post to the thread. But if you post to the same thread...

    I'm Looking For This Tile 1980’s tiles - last resort

    hi, I’m new to this forum and it’s a last resort really as the tiles I’m after were bought in the 80’s.

    How long do your Fugi tools last?

    How long do your fugi tools last? After 6 months it feels like the main ones aren't as good as they were, leaving some residue. Can you just buy the blue square one on its own ?

    Books - last one you read?

    What was your last read? - online or in hand. Just read a few pages of the last unfinished Billy Bunter if that counts, but before that it was Wilt by Tom Sharpe. Also got an online version of The Bible but found all the begots and siring of 200+ children a hard story to follow!
