White Room

Week before last was working on tiling 3 bathrooms in a new build (private customer):

  • Customer ordered 15 sq m too few tiles (despite being given exact dimensions by me);
  • after laying three floors with 600x300 polished porc in straight bond pattern, I started a fourth floor and customer arrived to tell me now wanted this room brick bond - (I had dry cut half the floor by then);
  • carpenters on site kept fitting doors in rooms I was about to tile floors on;
  • customer twice changed specification of what was to be tiled adding extra walls;
  • wanted a tiled bath panel to be removable using a very flexible 12mm ply (I insisted carpenters changed frame and ply - made me popular with them!).

But that's ok. The customer is always right..... :smilewinkgrin:

So the customer is the project manager now:ban:
