    Mirrors and tiling around

    Hi all, Got a couple of mirrors I'll be tiling around. Is it best to fit the mirrors to the walls first, then fit the trim up to it before tiling around. Or would you tile first allowing for the trim and mirror then install it after?

    Hey There, I'm tiling 3' by 6" ceramic tiles over DITRA in a herringbone pattern. I can only do several tiles at a time, because of time constraints. So I do a little area and place the tiles, but of course there's all the excess thin set from either spillage or just going a little too far...
