So first time Tiling. And apart from the bowed wall and over use of grout to level it. I'm stuck with where to put the cut end of the tile for the Beaded edge.. I assume I sand it and put cut edge at bead? But it's not stug. Is it better to leave a fap to fill? Or put the cut end by the tile?

I will make a better cut. Having to score and snap so proving difficult to snap them straight until I get the hang of it.

Is that the correct thickness tile beading to match tiles?
 
Well I butted one up to it in bnq and it was snug. But that's only because it had a tapered edge. didnt consider that the cut edge would be to thick to fit in the bead.
 
Also making it difficult starting at the top.
Start at the bottom. Gravity...
Use a plumb line and mark wall as guide.
Could you not start at edge with uncut edge of tile?
Guess pattern will be out though

Yeah I soon realised that especially with the thick backing. I had been working bottom up but wanted the top edge to be flush as bottom hidden. But in hindsight I'd have made it work. Bottom up from now on.
