how many times..

[faithhealer]

..do you tell the customer, No, you can't walk on the tiles. Do they think we have magic glue or something!

I don't mind telling them, it just pees me off when they don't listen:mad2::mad2:

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

It never ceases to amaze me, how many times you say don't walk there. A split second before they do:yikes::mad2:

The are all idiots!

My fave is kitchen splashies, tell them to leave the worktops alone over night until silicone cured. Last one i did she waited til i pakced everything away then pulled me up on some rough silicone, worktop was wet. She onsisted she didnt touch it until i found her dishcloth in the bin covered in silicone!

2 or 3 strips of tape across the doorways will give them the message

How about some gaffer tape strapped around their ankles? I find that always helps!

Ohh more tea vicar!

How long do you tell them to stay off the tiles? I generally go by the drying time on the adhesive spec. from the last tile laid. If it's a kitchen they usually jump at the excuse for take away junk food.

The usual pains are the parents with young kids who seem incapable of avoiding the kitchen for one day.

 

[faithhealer]

told them to keep off it all night, no foot prints to clean off tomorrow lol

If the bag says 2-3 hours then i say 4

If the bag says 2-3 hours then i say 4

Probably wise....I shall adopt that principle....better safe than sorry.

 

[Andy Allen]

depends on how many cups of tea iv'e been offered... no tea = stay off all night and i dont care if you have left your car keys in there and you have to go out.

lots of tea = jump up and down on it if you like in 3 hours time

bthroom floors and homes with young kids are the worst for it:mad2:

i now add the cost of 2 landmines per threshold for every floor i do into the price............

Over the years I have had some Idiots walk on my work, one that sticks in my mind was a public house. I had just finished tiling 4 steps in sand and cement, I carefully rigged up a youngman board to form a safe ramp for the regulars to use. When suddenly this guy
appears at the top step, and proceeds to straddle the ramp and trashed a mornings work.


I was gobsmacked, I asked him (in a few choice words) what he was thinking. He just said "sorry mate I thought I wasn't allowed to walk on the board" Arrrrrrrrgh. Don't you just love the public. The joys of being a tiler eh!:mad2:

Similar story, did an indian restauant once and they couldn't stop themselves. Put cardboard on newly laid tiles with 'wet' written on and they thought it said walk!!
