It's been a little dead hereabouts lately, so I thought I would try and liven things up a little.

Post some pics of your current tile projects in progress. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

While large floors aren't really the most exciting thing to do for me, they really are our bread and butter.

Nice job Floormasta78. :thumbsup:

Here's what I've been working on, new construction (gasp). And yes, being the nice guy that I am, and since the decorator didn't take into consideration the framed in niche, I cut the little decos out by hand. They were supposed to be clipped corners, but that woulda put the listello too high. HO is very pleased.

You did those by hand! Wow...you are a nice guy! Looks great.....that's where I have in my fine print on contract about alterations and creating a border verses a pre- packaged deal.....what did you find the best way to do those & just curious....how many did you screw up?

Thanks guys. :)

In case anyone's wondering, or ever needs to do this. I cut the inserts out from the front to my marks, and then completed the cut very, very carefully from the back.

The tile is an inexpensive clay body floor tile from Dal. Very hard to be sure, but not as hard as porcelain.

Truth be told, while it probably took me ten times longer to cut out than clipped corners, it was a lot easier to install.
