Mate of mine who is a tiler says you always place a whole tile in the centre (doorway, fireplace etc). If you don't having a grout line in the centre visually divides the room/whatever into two. Once you notice this, it's all you can see.
So if you have three garages, do you tile down the centre of each one, or just the middle one?suffolk009 said:

"Where do you keep all the microfibres, polishes, waxes, oils, tools etc?"
A key goal was to have a garage for a car and to remove all the other stuff that had seemed to accumulate within it over the years. Being a single garage, space was restricted.
Garden stuff inc bikes. Now in a shed.
Misc stuff in new garage loft or thrown out.
Mechanic type stuff. Am rubbish at mechanics so downsized tool kit to essentials. Alongside garage a storage area is being created for them and....
.....Car cleaning stuff.
Also had water and electric fitted to front/side of garage so plugs inside not required for car cleaning.
Know the above will not work for many people, but it works for me.
I think you've done a sterling job, well done .A key goal was to have a garage for a car and to remove all the other stuff that had seemed to accumulate within it over the years. Being a single garage, space was restricted.

Ron had my FiL's company back in for £20k worth of extra work to move one of the machines because the edge was 25mm inset from the nearest grout line of the new tiled floor.

I'm in the process of building something similar, and like you I want sectional folding doors, which seems unusual on a wooden building. Have you any advice/suggestions re these etc, ideally I don't want electric ones, though unsure if they have to be on these - I'm choosing them for their insulation capabilities.
Thanks in advance.
