Hi folks! Thanks for reading this and any constructive replies are
welcome...

I am tiling (15 inch sq tiles) a 4 level split home (my own) with
grout in between roughly 1/8 inch gaps . I am doing two stairwells
and a landing .... To make a long story short I have tiled one
stairwell and landing. To start my next stairwell off the landing I
need to offset my tiles so the lines match to the landing....however,
if I go dead center down the stairs with the tiles it will be less
waste but the grout lines will be three inches off the existing
landing...should I say to hell with it or cut tiles according to the
"cards that I have been given to play" from where I started?
Thanks.... Jim

The grout lines on the first stair and landing line up? Then line them up
on the second stair too.

That assumes that doing so won't result in wierd cuts on the second
stair...like 1" of tile on one side, nine inches on the other.

Too late now but an alternative would have been to treat each stair and the
landing as an individiual area; e.g., do stair one to minimize cuts, do
landing in diamond, do stair two to minimize cuts.
