The tile continues. Most of the tile is now on the wall – save the last fiddly bits.

I put up all the whole tiles first, then fill in the cut pieces. I’m getting quite good at cutting out the tricky tiles that go around pipes and electrical boxes. In the upper two photos, I’ve got almost all the whole pieces of tile on. Just one more row at the top, and above the windows.

Cutting the tile to fit around the windows is quite slow work. The tile at this window took all day. I’m standing on a ladder in the photo – Mole came downstairs to check on me, because it was past 9pm and we’d not had dinner!

The next parts to finish: the difficult sloping cuts up close to the ceiling (left), and the other window (right). I just ordered the shower door: The price was so low at overstock.com that I just couldn’t resist (less than $600 including shipping for a frameless 3/8″ thick shower door with side panel.) Hopefully it’s not junk!

I didn’t include any photos of cats in my last post, so here’s a close-up of Arwen.

If you were a small creature in our house, this would be the last thing you would see. Where do you think Mole got the idea for the tile color?
