6th August 2010
The lime tiles arrived and I compared them to the left over Wickes ones I had from a previous job and even though the Wickes ones said on the box 148 x 148 compared to the lime ones which say 150 x 150 they were a perfect match for size so I guess this is just a 'round up'.
Wirh the tiles now in my hands I lined them up with the wall and bath to measure how many I would need using the spacers inbetwen. It worked out almost virtually 13 across.
At this point when I was lining the tiles up on the ends I immediately didn't think the move from colours around the bath to white where the bath stops would look as I wanted it too. The bath are is about a third of the room and therefore I decided that only the back wall and bath panel would have green and black on them. The rest of the walls will be white only. This also means I can go for bolder lines of colour on these feature walls.
The fram for the bath shelf surround completed at this point the next step will now wait until pay day, when we can buy the black and white tiles for this area and the tanking, adhesive and grout. That will be enough to complete the first month of the project.

Pay day came and out so we got:
White tiles from Wickes
Black tiles and exterior 12mm ply from Focus
Adhesive, grout and bath trim from B&Q
Tanking kit plus sealant from Screwfix.
Into the bathroom it went awaiting my first forray into 'mass' tiling. However first job was done straight away. Prime the walls, followed a few hours by tanking, taping and then tanking again. 24 hours to set so will start the tiling tomorrow..
