Morning all.

Well I only fixed 6 tiles yesterday!!..... 1000 x 316 split face effect porcelain cut to 934 with a 1mm increasing taper on top left and right side with cut outs for wall hung toilet (fixing bolts, flush & soil and flush plate), a varied adhesive bed depth due to plasterer making a hash of the plasterboard over the gerberit frame and then a full length cut tile at the top and bottom with a bevel cut to the tile on the sill. To top it off it was chucking it down outside and the customer had NO spare tiles!!!

Rant over.. ...I can relax this weekend now!

Haha that's just a normal day!
The top cut on the face of the cistern is the top of the tile above on the wall.
The tile on the wall has been turned upside down with a random piece connecting them.
The top wrap round the side is a random off cut and all three externals are mitred, akemi filled and hand finished to eliminate sharp edges.
And you're upset about a 1mm taking cut!
Hahaha :D
