    This is really Poor setting out isn't it?

    Am I right in thinking this setting out is awful? He's also fitted plasterboard to the dry areas of the bathroom, I insisted in him putting Hardiebacker around the shower/bath and I tanked it. But we're not happy with it at all. The cuts are obviously bad. Thanks.
