While Nikki was laying out the tiles, I was trying to use the 🎉 tool 🎉 that we'd bought to trim a little of the end of one of the tiles. A nice straight line. How hard could it be?

It was impossible. We both tried various combinations of scoring, levering, malleting, and swearing - none of them worked. It was time for a 🎉 new tool! 🎉 We'd also managed to use the entire bucket of glue+grout on about half the tiles it said it would do.

We came back with a new tub of glue+grout and a motorized wet tile saw. The saw is amazing given how much it cost (£45). It's super loud, tends to spray silty water everywhere, and says that you shouldn't use it outdoors - but it does result in tiles being cut in a controllable way.

The wiring inspection was pretty interesting too. The house doesn't quite meet Certified Good Electrics standards, but it wasn't actually far off. Astonishing given the age of the property (and previous encumbent). There are some batty wiring decisions though. There are three lighting circuits: floor 1, floor 2 and floors 3-4-5. Great news if the lights go off and we're stuck on the top floor. We also discovered that there is a single socket in our kitchen that's on its own ring, completely unnecessarily.

Most of the 'rings' aren't actually rings according to the sparky - it's unlikely to be an issue for us but it does mean that the total amperage ratings are lower. The only rooms where that might be an issue are the utility room and the kitchen, both of which will be wired correctly when they're finished.
