Got a call last week from builder who subs bathroom fits from his uncles company " can you come friday and finish a job and grout the room " happens I was free so went along :yikes:. What a bodge, who ever he had ( stiil hasnt named em ) couldnt cut the porcelain floor tiles. Hed managed to do the walls but gaps between ceilling and in corners of varying size. But the bit that set me off was this is all on bonding! When I tried to explain builder just kept smiling like an idiot and making out Im to fussy. I finished the 5 floor tile cuts as at least they were on solid screwed down ply ( primed my bit ) and grouted the room. As hed caught me on the hop i had no silicone so firmly told him that anything not grouted requirs silicone as movement will occur. Get a phone call today with him moaning as i havent grouted the whole room. Reminded him about the conversation and he says " no you grout everything and then go over it with silicone can i do it this in future "
I can tell you now I cant see me and this lemon having much of a future! Then he begs me do 2 days in another bathroom tommorrow had a look, another bodge. Are they all like this or just the builders I get saddled with? I turned another down recently as the jobs were rushed bodges and I dont want to be associated with em. Works hard to come by but I can be doing with these sling em in merchants.:mad2:
