Yes, but i had to remove the shitty carpet that was in there, i couldnt stand it, tiling isnt cheap but atleast its extremely durable, laminated floors were also not an option as they swell quickly when a bit of water falls on them.
Such alot of ideas for renovations and improvements, but everything costs money and i need to budget for everything down to the last cent these days

Can I ask where you got those tiles? I like the look of them. And I am wondering how much you paid for them? I might have a place that can help out with great selection of tiles for factory prices

aah Ok awesome that is a good price. Next time go check out http://pudlo.co.za/ They are based in Salt River and they are awesome. I paid up to 1/2 price of ctm prices for some stuff at pudlo and they have a small walkin shop you can visit.
Also I hope you are planning on using a dark grey/black grout - will make the tiles look amazing

Cool when i do the bathroom i'll check them out, im still deciding on the colour scheme and layout for the bathroom at the moment.
whats nice about CTM is that they are a stone throw away from me and they're open on sundays if i need stuff

Make sure to check the output of that 5V. A lot of the cheaper power supplies will have poorly regulated power, I had a cheap charger that would make my touch screen input be jumpy and nearly random.

I'm an artist (also a writer, but not relevant) who mostly works in metal-sculpting, so I know my way around an angle-grinder 
I've done custom work on things like bathroom sinks, special wall-fittings for light switches (much more elaborate than it sounds), lamps and such, so I'm pretty handy, but I wouldn't say I could "fix" anything. Your mileage may vary on just how "DIY" I actually am, but if it sounds fun or interesting, I'm up for the challenge.
My most recent build was a custom doggy-house (mostly wood, so the pooch won't be getting skewered, don't worry)!
