    In hindsight you would have set that border out before the field (would you not!).

    I normally do the border first but on this case I was just doing the one wall, it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever glued out there was a lot of baby wipes used to clean glue of off the tiles

    I always lay the field first find it easer every one to there own. that's how i would have fitted the tiles to the brick wall good job.

    Generally border then field just find it quicker take my time with the border then fly through the field. rather than field then take time on bordering feels like you're on the job longer

    Is it easier to border lay against that wibbly wobbly wall then field out afterwards.

    I personally would of laid the border along that wall and one other side wall first as it's the bit to take the most time then I could of used guillotine to cut tiles on the 45 and fly through the field leaving 2 straight Walls to border after, a bit back to front doing half boarder first then field then other half boarder but that's what I think would of been quickest if I was doing whole job

    I feel the opposite. Smashing the field down first feels like you're bombing through the job already.
    Different strokes for different folks I guess :smile:

    Field first for me but against that wall would be easir for me to border out first.
