Setting out a kitchen floor
First pick a focal point (this illustration shows the sink wall opposite the
door). Dry lay a tile at each end and strike a datum line (see Activity 7).

Measure out from the first datum line to ensure you have good cuts
everywhere you need to place a cut tile.

Adjust your datum line (as in this illustration), as the cut tile to the door

Setting out a kitchen floor
Check widthways to ensure you have good cuts. This will leave a small
cut to the unit by the door (a cut should not be smaller than one-fifth of
a tile). 300mm x 300mm would be a cut no smaller than 60mm.

Once any adjustments to the datum lines have been made, fix the first
row of tiles. On this floor all the cuts are being left out to fix the
following day.
