Do you ever feel like punching yourself in the face?

[beanz]

Today I decided to use standard set addy on a floor.. I ALWAYS use rapid on floors, but decided, as this floor is all over the shop, that I'd give myself a bit more leeway on times etc...
Left the job this evening a little fed up with how long it's taking to get down, but happy with the work. Everything nice and flat, not even a mm lippage anywhere.
So, I'm sitting in the bath mulling the job over (as you do), thinking what a pain it is, and how it's a good job I used standard set......... Oh... My... God!!! I wasn't using rapid! Before I left, I walked over a section of the floor that'd been down 4 hours, and didn't give it a second though!?! Until now!!
What a clown!
I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be pulling up a couple of metres on Monday

Thats an ouch but it's also called experience and you learn from this.....

it could've slumped anyway with ss, don't beat yourself up about it and enjoy the rest of w/end

It's only like the guy in the video a couple of weeks who tiled himself in the room and then jumped up and down on them to level them. :lol:

 

[beanz]

Maybe it'll counter act any slumping, and they'll be flat as a pancake lol!
Cheers guys, just needed to air my woes last night..

 

[beanz]

Well, it looks like I was extremely lucky! Why couldn't I have been that lucky with the lottery!?!

Not bad mate, see, stressing over nothing.

Looks like you had a near miss with the heebygeeby perfectionist man... This happens when you leave something not quite perfect (half mm lip) on the Friday then over the weekend the heebiejeebie man (in your head) makes it seem more like a 2 mm lip... Luckily the tile fairy sorts most of the issues out by the Monday morning!!

 

[beanz]

Na the tile fairy normally goes out of his way to screw me over.. He obviously had the weekend off lol

I dont feel like punching my self in the face but have was annoyed with a customer today who got me to drive 2 hours to their house claiming to have a cracked tile it turned out to be a deep scratch caused by a metal hop up and a settlement crack caused as he had grouted in the expansion joints we left open for the silicone contractor

Need that don't you.. How come you didn't silicone the gap yourself!?! Or was it site work?

 

[AMtek]

Not as bad as putting a screw through a pipe then going away to work for a week and getting a call from the customer to say they have no pressure in the boiler! oops

Oops...The customer gecided to have a go at grouting, why the hell did the not call you to queery the missing grout ffs!!

 

[Peter]

How come every job where you explain to a customer about siliconing an expansion gap, every single time during grouting they'll say "You haven't done that bit between the door". :mad2:
