At least you know it's going on next week. I know what you mean about the internals having dried up so I feel for you. It took ages for it to dry up completely. Yeah I think thats the most annoying part about not getting our roof last week. It was finally dry and now will be totally soaked again which may hold up the plastering. Thanks everyone, hoping the weather is good this week and then my hat will finalllllly be on!!!!!

I've taken some pics of them with our selections and I'm not too sure if I'm going to love how it looks.. but too late now! haha. Hopefully once it's all together on a bigger scale it will look better. ***Plus the photos don't include the 600x300 white wall tile.

Do you think for the small squares one in the bathroom we should get the tile cut smaller so it isn't as many rows (currently 300x300 tile, 12 rows of squares) or use the whole tile so the feature would be a big strip? Also I'm wondering with the tile of squares, if that still gets grouted over or if the tile is the finished product, because if it doesn't have grout put over it the colour in between the tiles will be different to the wall tile grout, which is white.

Ok now for you Q's; I personally would want feature tile the same size as others so it'll all align from floor to wall if you know what i mean. So if other tiles are 200x200 then i'd be matching that.....so you don't have a half tile somewhere!!! Unless they are going horizontally.... As for grouting i'm 99% sure they grout in between all the little squares so the grout will match your others. I would think when you have tile meeting with the tiler could offer you some ideas!!!

I love all our selections seperately so hoping it comes together well. Yeah I'm hoping that the tile gets grouted to be the same, I wasn't sure because the ensuite tiles (the vertical stripes) are all seperate and held together with a bit of plastic, so its obvious they're be layed and grouted, whereas the bathroom feature tile (the little squares) are a solid tile and the gaps between each little square isn't deep at all.. it doesn't really look like there is room to grout it if that makes sense. Oh well, as you said Copper32 I'll be able to ask the tiler at the tile meeting! Good point Cooper32 about the tile lines all matching up, hadn't thought of that. Think I'll just leave it as the full 300x300 feature tile, then it will all match up.

That feature tile in ensuite is similar to ours! We kept our tiles the same width (300 x300) as it looks neater with the lines matching up. Shame we couldnt do that in the bathroom/laundry though, our feature tile was no longer available in the same width and I'm sure nobody else does-but I notice the grout lines!!!!!

The colours will all go together fine. As for the grout in the small feature tiles - they will grout it in the same colour as your white tiles. +2. Absolutely love it. I'm sure it will all come together nicely. The rain has come in our living area a bit through our sliding door and large window so the internal bricks inbetween these frames are now damp.

Our roof is the blue/grey colour... not white. Looking at houses in our street that are surfmist, our roof looks completly different. I'm going back in the morning to look in full light and then I'll email the CRO. Feeling a bit disheartened right now. Even if it is surfmist, wasn't expecting it to look the way it did.

The only thing that is making me unsure is that the valleys are the same colour, and they can't be put upside down. I'm really thinking the colour isn't right, but will go back and look again in the morning before I email.

It doesn't explain the capping being the same colour though.
