Oh god. What a bloody shame! builder paying out?
Haven't heard for a while. She was taking him to court last time I heard cuz she'd spent her last few pennies on getting this done.

Just going through my collection of pictures. Some may have already been posted before, but some are also worth a second laugh :)

Problem..... Moisture ingress and shading on BCT tiles. Multiple causes including not the greatest quality, tubbed https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ (on a 500x250 tile) and dot'n'dab (can see from the patches)

Crackle Dados are not to be used as Skirtings. Especially when up against a truly floating floor. This floor is going to be used as a trampoline in the Rio Olympics.

Oh, and there's a pube!
