Why did you do the tiny cuts in the corner of the shower enclosure?

To be able to balance the rest, it's a compromise. To make those tiles larger would have offset the others on the other side, so in affect would have two sides at say 7", instead I've got one side at 12" (half tile) and the other at 2", so the tile waste is much less, and the floor is balanced as you walk in.

Yes I could have evened it out, but this seemed like the better fit.... Got me thinking now lol.!!!

Next job.... Not sure what I'm doing here!!!

House was empty for over 7 years and wasn't maintained, hence the bathroom etc... So it's been a good slog for just over 2 years to get it how we want it inside, but still lots to do.

Outside the boundary hedge was way past the point of being pruned so it's been taken down. Chipped pretty much all of it, intend to level the land a little with some of it, and fence the front and both sides, then plant some easy maintenance trees - not green fingered so I'll be asking for inspiration somewhere

It did, but it was an eye sore and nightmare to manage. Left too long to its own devices so had grown beyond control, so pruning wasn't possible.

Think I am going to go with a 5ft fence around and plant a tree in the corner to break up the boldness, and maybe some flowers somewhere....

No green fingers here, so i'll be getting someone in
