Starting the tiling

I've got some of the tiles in place. It doesn't look very tidy, but I hope that when the grouting is done it should look a bit more consistent.



I have bought some remarkably expensive epoxy grout. This stuff has a terrible reputation for being almost impossible to put on properly. In particular it sets completely hard within 20 minutes of mixing, and in that time you have to clean it off the tiles and make sure it stays in the gaps. But if it is put on properly, it's hard (harder than the tiles!) smooth and quite impervious. I shall give it a go, but if it turns out to be as bad as they say, I may restrict it to the area immediately around the sink.
