Robin,

dadIO gave you excellent advice. I don't think you are tiling
just one small space, the comment has to do with the entire room.
The entire room has one floor, any joint has to go all the way
across the room each way. Discover or chalk a center line each
way. Loose lay the tiles to see how the borders will fall. You
want the borders to be close to a 1/2 tile or more. If you have
very small borders by starting the pieces on the line, try it
again with the center of the tile on the center line.

I am laying out vinyl tile for my bathroom and in one section

left with 2". This section is about 4 ft.

1. Find and mark the center lines for both directions of the
room

2. Starting at the intersection of the center lines, dry lay
tiles to
find best fit. There are two possible starting positions in
both
directions...
(a) edge of tile on line(s)
(b) center of tile on line(s)
It's OK to have tile edge on one line, tile center on other
line. All
depends on room and tile size.

Thanks for your reply. It is one section of the bathroom that
measures
26" wide by 36 long. I am working with 12" tiles.

Robin

It is an L shaped room, no matter how I do it I still have the section
that measures
26 inches wide x 36 inches long.
