Not really much change from the usual through-the-door shot today, but hidden around around the corner there has been tiled up a third or so of the height of the wall.

When I bought the massive tiles I'd vaguely thought it might be easier to apply fewer large files than a larger number of small ones.

That's wrong. It's more difficult to have to cut the tiles up all the time and try and place these big unwieldy objects.

Presumably there is an optimum somewhere between meter-square slabs and a mosaic of micro-tiles.

Aesthetically I'd sooner it wasn't tiles at all, just one giant slab exactly the same size and shape as the wall with no gaps. So that's also why I picked the big ones.

If I were able to go back in time I'd say to go with the 30cm tiles not the 60cm tiles.
