Re: Hall of shame....

About 3 weeks ago i was asked to do some tiling for a builder but i was too busy at teh time to do it within his time scale so he did it himself.
Its a supposed to be a wet room but no membrane was in place . the adhesive is tubbed gear from Granfix and although it does say on the bucket it is suitable , i certainly wouldnt use it.
The joints were lipping everywhere and grout was left on the tiles. They hadnt been cleaned properly and i can see it will be a big effort to get them looking clean. I made no comments but got on with the other work that was to be done in the building.
Sorry my camera phone is rubbish but then so is this tiling.

test post

why can't i get past page 6 when viewing this thread? i know new posts are there I just can't see them:dizzy2:

It happens from time to time, there isnt a page 6, there was probably some spam post thats been removed that pushed the post count onto page 6, but when it was removed the forum doesnt remove a page from the page count. This post may well actually make it back to page 6 ...lol

All working for me again

That's a lovely cut around the waste for the sink Sir ramic Was the tiling in the builders house or on one of his jobs? I can see him getting bumped if it was for a paying customer

It was in a clients house. There is a large cover going around the basin pipe to hide it.

Re: Hall of shame....

shocking, the brick bond is all over the place, they clearly didn't use spacers and the grouting is non existant, absolute cowboys, I bet they went with the cheapest quote as well:ban:

Looks like you found one of my jobs Rob.

Hahaha Roger, those same guys used muriatic inside condo, ruined all the appliances, ductwork, elecrtical boxes, window frames, the frame for the hide-a-bed, and the AC unit. Who knows what they did to their lungs.

Why did they use muriatic? They thought that was the best way to strip the laminate floor adhesive off of the floor. :lol:
