Having "one of them jobs" myself at the moment.
350m walls & 150m floor.
Newly built toilet/shower block for a campsite 3 miles from me.
All the other guys that are working on this job are full time employed by the campsite, so it's very very clicky. They ALL think the tiling game is easy and they ALL can do it better/faster etc etc. Wet room floors have gradients all over the place, with 6 drains in each part (for showers). The drains are plain gullies with 50p black drain covers....all set level with screed, no account taken at all for the tiling, hence, they are 10mm lower than the floor.
None of them give a stuff about who is working before or after them. Nobody knows how to clear up after themselves. I did a lot of siliconing, and somebody came in 1/2 hour after and started drilling etc etc.......I hit the wall, and they all take the pee, and think I'm a miserable git.....which I am on this job. Nothing is finished, as I cannot finish any of it, until the plasterer actually turns up and finishes of door/window revells etc.
Last Saturday I asked for more tiles to be fork lifted over to me from the storeroom, only to be told that there is none left, (couldn't make it up). So I measured up and told them they are 40m short........they got ordered, and arrived today (Monday) and then a pallet of tiles was mysteriously found in the store room, so they will have plenty left over.
All of this is normal for this shambles of a place. Where as the plumber and myself are pulling our hair out at the total frustration of this place. I won't go into the plumbing side of **** ups......thats another day maybe?
moan/rant over...........so your 1 bad day........I'm quite envious.
