Halfway when tiling the bathroom floor of my client, I found out that we lacked a couple of square feet of tiles. Oops. Somewhere in the measuring and ordering process something had gone wrong. Probably the fact that we added a toilet to the surface that needed to be tiled and omitted a border.
Fortunately the missing tiles could be re-ordered and the next day I could finish the job. It looks gorgeous, although it has a bit of an op-art effect which makes the floor ripple.
The tiles originally consisted of little mats of 36 white or 36 black tiles. But since the client wanted a checkerboard-pattern they meticilously removed every other tile on the mats and glued a tile of the other color in its place. A huge amount of work, but it made my tiling job a lot faster. If I had to exchange tiles during tiling I probably wouldn’t have finished the job before the winter…
