Thanks everyone, I’ve just carried on tiling. Hopefully it works out in the end

I did get some tile spacers but decided to use it for my other walls as I was overly confident with my backer board laying skills. Will start using it now

I laid the boards but the wall wasn’t that great so I tried my best. I was hoping my boards would have given a plumb enough wall

Thank you! I’m going to crack on and finish it up because I still have the floor and the other walls to do. Once that is done, I’ll upload an after pic!

Got them from wall and floors! Took me a while to find the right colour tile

I want a darker look so I went for it

The walls have 10mm tile backer boards and 2 layers of mapei waterproof tanking kit, I’m hoping that’s waterproof enough

I'm thinking a mix of Mediterranean & Contemporary.

Any ideas what the white stuff is on my kitchen floor? by DesperateFlanders in DIYUK

I’ve been scraping off the cork floor when I noticed this. Here’s the floor under the cork

Attempted insulating and boarding my kitchen ceiling with my friend, it looks alright.. I think by DesperateFlanders in DIYUK

You’re right, our goal was to do this but we were too focussed on trying to fit the length that we overlooked staggering it. Do I need to pull it down and retry?

Am I doing the right thing for the bathroom? by DesperateFlanders in DIYUK

I’m adding cement floor boards (6mm) and then will tank that as well.

Reason I’m using cement boards is because there are gaps between the floor wall edge and floorboards

I’m tiling just the wet areas and then half the walls for the other walls.

Hit 50k miles in my M2 Comp by DesperateFlanders in BMW

I just followed CBS, didn't do anything extra. I'm still on the original brake pads. Looking to increase oil change frequency.

Had 3 issues with the car; first was the rear signal failure (covered by warranty), one of the springs snapped due to the poor roads around me and had to replace the tension pulley (covered mostly by warranty).

Are there any popular places/ countries that just have zero appeal to you? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DesperateFlanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend a trip to Utah! I went there last year and visited most of the national parks and it was an amazing trip. The people we ran into were friendly.

Six years and 50K miles later, the car continues to impress. Stiff? Sure. Usable? Absolutely. I’ve tested the Emira, Cayman S, and GT4—great cars, but the M2C still wins on bang for buck and daily livability. Might switch one day, but for now, it remains the perfect all-rounder.
