Just to ADD to the woes I'm having with this new slab in the wetroom, I ask the shop what the coverage is per bag of Greenscreed
5m squared, came the reply.
Good, I thought. I'll need a shedload to do the former, then the rest can do the 2.5m squared or so to stick down the ditra matting.
So, picked up the Greenscreed along with a load of other bits. Got it out of the van later yesterday in case the temp drops too much.
Looked on the back. Coverage is 2.8m squared per bag.
Jeees I am annoyed. Not only am I likely to need at least one other bag, but I now have to order it in - again! I'm just hoping that there'll be enough to do the former :yikes: It's a 1200 x 1200 Tilux former but it has been trimmed down to app 1200 x 1050 (average dimension.
I'm not going to mention the outlet. Sufice to say this is the first time they've given me a bum steer.
So that's another £50 this job is going to cost me (which I can't ask the customer for - Grrrrr) and another trip to to go and get it. I'm actually in danger of making a loss on the materials for this job. It's a good thing that I seem to have got the labour about right.
