He's an Canadian builder and has a programme on the afternoons on tv called Holmes on Homes, He sorts out bodge jobs

Used to have a problem with a painter squad that worked with same builders I subbied to used to laugh when they stood on fresh tiles go oops sorry. Third time it happened had one of them half out a window by the throat and then it never happened again. Strange seeing a grown man cry

 

[Alberta Stone]

We threw out out tv a long time ago, so that would explain why I had no idea who he was.
But I have heard of the show Holmes on homes.
Never seen it though.

i had this happen back in the building strike 1972
one of the scouser flying pickets walk all over a newly layed floor laughing as he did
the bloke was 6 6 16 stone as he turned to leave the room i grabbed a near by shovel and smashed it into his back he fell out cold
i thought your not laughing now you *******
but he had the last laugh
i was arrested for common assault spent that night in the cells
luckily bovis the main contractors lawyers got the case dropped

Not floor tiles, but had a bloke pull some wall tiles off cos he didnt like how I had set them out...I had to put them back when I explained why they had to go there :mad2:

happened to me once when using megalastic addy onto kascade shower tray. £95 sqm porc mosaics and customer went in after i left to draw where shower plate went. didnt notice they moved when he stood on them. the addy pulls the shower tray to bits if you try to remove tiles so had to leave it. i was at a job last week when customer said when he had en suite tiled he didnt like where the border was so when tiler got back next morning he had removed tiles and stuck them on himself where he wanted them!!!!!! i left rather quickly

 

[Grace'sDad]

Only once for me. A postman walked right in and placed a parcel on the kitchen worktop, standing on two tiles. They sunk. I had UFH down and couldn't safely get them up. His body is still in the garden shed and I don't think the customer has noticed yet.

My advice would be to always communicate clearly. Tell the customer to KEEP OFF! Safest way is to assume they are all 100% stupid.
