    Rip out and start over?

    Hi guys, brand new member so I'll hope not to be a pain in the rear. Had to lift the tiles in part of our bathroom.

    Corner set out

    What's your tiling question? Pictures can be added. Tiling into a corner. Full tile next to a cut tile or 2 cut tiles next to each other to form the corner with 2 full tiles together above ? I have seen pics online of both. Is there a right way ?
