I said as much to the customers Mike, the only plus point is that a lot of the tiles will be re-usable due to the dot and dab fixing with a class C tubbed adhesive...we can rebuild it (in the words of the 6 million dollar man!)

No the pound is real but i dont think that tile is fixed like many others due to a lighting system which still has to be inserted and i think there are a no. off tiles that are dry laid to enable the rest off the tiling to take place. You better keep hold of that pound you may need it to last a long time after this post :lol:

Mark: not sure what it is...but "YUCK"!

Re: Hall of shame....

This submission for the Hall of Shame has nothing to do with tile, and everything to do with the wood-butchers that masquerade as carpenters.:mad2: I've installed a lot of doors over the years, and sometimes I've had to use "non-standard" methods and fasteners to get the job done.

But how about using 4 1/2" drywall screws to install a hollow-core, 18" wide prehung door for a linen closet? A dozen or more of these screws to install the jambs and casing!!! :yikes: What the .... ????

After 20+ years working in the trades, I thought I had seen most if not all of the goofy things that get done on the remodel jobsite.

I was wrong. :lol:

Re: Hall of shame....

Plumbers with their sawzalls are next on my list...GRRRRR!!!:incazzato::furious3:

(Not you Faithy!)

We just did the demo for a new bathroom project and found that the plumbers cut the engineered joist 12 years ago when they hooked up the tub. Someone attempted to deal with the problem by adding the plywood gussets on the side. :yikes:

The problem is that NOW I have to get a structural engineer in to evaluate this mess and write a detail for the repair and reinforcement of the joist. Engineered joists can't be modified in any way without a spec from the manufacturer, and that's not possible to get now. This detail from the engineer will have to be submitted for approval to the Building Permits and Code Enforcement Office, and they will get to delay me even further while they review what the engineer's detail says and then eventually approve it.

This has messed up our schedule and will cost my customer considerable extra money for the engineer and our work doing the required repairs (unless we luck out and he says the current fix is OK, which I doubt).

So, to the plumber with his sawzall 12 years ago, and to the framing contractor that couldn't read a set of plans and placed a joist where a tub drain needed to be...your legacy gets placed in the TilersForum UK "Hall of Shame"!:lol:
