For the past 2.5 hrs I've lifted half of my kitchen floor tiles, scrubbed them clean and cleaned up the adhesive on the floor.
Reason being, I got a quote from a tiler, got him to start this morning and right from the start I didn't feel comfortable. He didn't measure correctly, when he nipped to the loo I measured up the sides of the floor and I would have had a 2inch thin strip at one and and almost a full tile at the other. Now this tiler has 40 years of experience so I thought ok he knows what he is doing. He started to lay the tiles, I was watching the news and came in for a quick peek at his work, all of the joins were out and he wasn't straight on his center line and the tiles were not level. I said I wasn't happy with this so he corrected it, it was a little better and hoped the grout would cover most of it up, but them he kept doing it, and the last straw was marking my tiles with a permanent marker for his cuts. So I has to stop him and send him away.
I'm a man and I should man up but I'm pretty cut up and I'm not embarrassed to say I shed a tear while scrubbing the adhesive off the tiles to save them.
We just want a nice home, right now after moving in we still have a house, it's not a home yet and everything is building up. This has really got me down.
I'm crying out for a good tiler to come in and do this job I have. I want someone that will do good joins, will lay the tiles level and won't inky my tiles. That's all I ask.
I have about 22m, kitchen, bathroom and 3 toilets. All floors have been primed, all upstairs are laid with NMP and I have everything here to start the job.
Please help.
