Hi there, newbie here with a few questions about tiling a 15 sq metres of wall & floor surfaces with 300x300x10mm porcelain tiles - not being one to make life easy for myself
The wall is plastered brick in good condition and painted with emulsion - will the paint need to be removed?
I'm going to buy a cheap(ish) tile saw, this one gets good reviews:

Adhesive - I understand I need flexible adhesive and was going to go for a Mapei product (Keraquick) off the Screwfix website - is it suitable and do i need additive for it? Assume I can use it on the floor also?
I'm planning to use white Mapei Ultracolour Plus grout.
Is it best to lay the tile face up or face down when I cut the tiles on the cutter?
Thanks in advance,
ElShanko.
