hi guys,
per the instructions, a 1/2 inch leeway from the walls are called ....no problem and i took that into account when measuring out my pattern. now, what i didn't account for was that i have two small pipes coming out (hidden by a few boxes that were still unpacked =)) right on the edge of the wall, so that if i left the tiles 1/2" away from the pipe, the spacing between the tile and wall would be 1.5 inches or so.
the fitting on the floor is perfect if i put the tile up against the pipe. do the tiles expand as much as that 1/2 inch in areas that rarely get above 70 degrees? i can cut a small around section if i have to for the area near the pipes but would prefer not too - the less cutting the better.
what have you who have had to cut used for small circular cuts? thanks for looking.......
