Small job I had on last Wednesday/Thursday.
Barn conversion which is rented out most of the year for holiday lets. Closed for this month for decorating.
Part tile bathroom walls and floor
Plumber had done his bit, and in I came and tiled walls. (No Problem)
I turned up to do the floor (3.5-4m) The tiles are next door they said and then they left me the keys and went away for a few days.
I looked at the tiles and noticed 2 colours (nuts, they didn't say 2 colours)
Anyway I tiled the floor in chequerboard fashion, and finished it off. Locked up and left.
Dropped keys off with plumber so he could do his bit a today.
Had a phone call today to say they thought the tiles were all the same colour, and they didn't like the chequerboard look :rant:
Turns out that Topps tiles gave them 2 different colours instead of the 1.
Monday, plumber said he would rip them up and could I retile. Topps is supplying more tiles and cement.........and customer will pay me again.
Strange life this self employed business :8:
