whats the best way

[gman82]

Is it best when doing a floor with quick dry adhesive to measure up,cut and do a dry run on a section of floor (say a metre sq) then adhesive it down or maybe run in straight lines?

any help would be great

What I would do is spend plenty of time setting out, making sure that my measurements are central etc, then mark out my tile sizes making sure I get the best cuts all round.

Then I would fix a vertical row of tiles from the centre to the edge of the room, making sure I work to my lines. After that, in my quarter, bang down 2 rows at a time from the centre row, outwards. Move onto the next quarter, bang down another 2 rows at a time, etc etc.

Keep doing this whilst working your way out to the exit.

Nice one - take the leap of faith and go into it full time. Put your ad in the paper, get your cards put every where and call yellow pages / thompson local to get your ad in. They are taking ads now for next years books. The deadline is december 21st.

Good luck mate 🙂
