One Day

Hey, we all have to start at some point.
My introduction to VLF (very large format) was by being presented with 2 tiles from Florim. Magnum 3.2m x 1.6m
The largest cutter I had was a Sigma 3em at 1230mm and I had NO idea what to do really.
I tackled it by asking people in the know - Marc being one in particular.
Then I got the necessary kit, deciding that these tiles are a growth area so worth the investment.
Then I prepared, prepared and prepared some more.
You ever have days where you can't get that first tile on the wall or floor because you're too busy looking at the set out, or thinking the job through in your head?!
Well this was just like that, except we're talking 2 tiles and 3 days!

What I'm saying is that nobody starts out with VLF as an expert.
We've got to cut our teeth somewhere so there's no point everyone jumping on the OP saying "Ooh - have you done them before?!" with that sharp sucking noise as you draw breath through gritted teeth!
