First time DIY tiler tackling a non straight external corner

[Flintstone]

Dot and dab the wall out to bring it plumb, probably easier than chipping off plaster and skimming with adhesive

Hi Chloe, how did you get on?

 

[Chloe]

So far so good... Haven't got very far though. I only have evenings and weekends and I don't know how you pros do it all so quick! Takes me ages 🙂 I hope this is what you meant for me to do. Will pack out the other wall with plasterboard and adhesive...

Yes looks like you got it, can't wait to see it donel🙂

Welcome to Tilers Forums 🙂

Let me know if I can be of any assistance around the forum.

Almost there... Just got to cut the top section around the extractor fan. Wanted to leave a 4mm ish gap around it to caulk so that it can be easily removed if necessary. Not quite sure how I'm going to do that cut though. I've been using an electric cutter but do have a manual one. Do you think I should cut in on the electric and score with the manual along the edge of the fan hoping it will snap OK?

 

[Flintstone]

Yes that is one way, or the easier way would be to plunge cut it, as in press it down onto the blade on your electric cutter

Great. Will give that a try. Thanks so much 🙂
