I am tiling a small outdoor area next to our house and laid a 3" concrete base a couple of weeks ago. The tiles are 30x30cm porcelain and the area is 2.5m by about 75cm with a 12cm wide drain gully running down the middle apart from a 50cm space at one end.
Since there will only be one row of tiles plus a bit extra on each side of the drain I thought I could get away with using a mixture of 3:1 sand/portland cement + 1:1 PVA mix and just stick them straight onto the concrete base.
Is this a bad idea? We don't have a lot of cash to spare but the last thing I want to be doing next summer is the same thing. Any help much appreciated - the other half wants it done yesterday!
