Tiling is Tiring...

I have just spent another weekend tiling. The reason progress is so slow is because I only have every second weekend off. This time around my job was to learn how to use the angle grinder to cut the tiles to fit around doorways, which is to be quite honest a bit of a **** job! We've mastered the art of it now though, and things are moving a little more quickly.

I chose a simple, cream 300x300mm tile. Although I would have liked something more interesting, the budget did not allow it. And, despite my love for this kitchen, the thought of laying these tiles makes me want to cry!

And I think this kitchen would make me curl up in a ball on the floor...

My respect for tiler's has increased immensely, so please treat your tiler nicely!
