Do you ever get a job where nothing at all goes right?

[Sean Kelly]

I think it's a bad day when only 9 things go wrong!!......you have 13+ I think you mentioned the 600x600 no trim requirement on another thread. I would have passed the job up and stayed at home fixing my own problems (general up keep of the house). So what trim did you use in the end? and what grout did you use?

 

[Spud]

bet you will be glad to get finished on that one

I managed to work it so that every cut edge(done very nicely with a Sigma 3DM) was covered by a factory made edge. The Weber jasmine grout was supplied/chosen by the tile retailer, not my choice on this tile, heyho!
No 14.....Weber jasmine grout is not the same colour as the Weber jasmine Silicon!

Dreaded going back one more day than I needed to. The customer was not the most helpful or accommodating either.

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:
