Hi all

Well after several weeks (work away a lot) its done, I have put some pictures in my album, your comments would be appreciated as its the first time I have tackled any ntural stone work.

I am now starting the bathroom so watch this space!

Many thanks for all the great advice from many of you..............

Looks smart - nice design with the straight border and the inset on the diamond point

What out for the batching of colours in natural stone - ie very dark from the same piece of stone / slate and laying them close together.

You might need to yoy grout film remover to remove the grout / cement from the house brick work

You've done a first rate job - well done

Looks fab, the layout gives it a rug look, which is really cosy, much better than square tiles without any interest

Many thanks for all the great comments from the pro's out there and to Dave for linking the pics to the post.

I haven't done a great deal of tiling before but I am a keen DIYer and an engineer by proffession so whenever I do any DIY I always go overboard with the attention to detail, so every job takes a while but normally ends up ok................

Once again thanks for all the advice on this great forum............:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Scott]

Ah he's an engineer! That explains it all

Nice way of creating a different pattern with standard size tiles
