Large format, small bathroom!

[Old Mod]

Did this small bathroom few weeks back, returned today to take a few snaps.
Shame he hadn't fitted the toilet seat! Haha
1200 X 600 x 10mm
No trims or architrave around the door, client wanted a shadow gap, so two L shaped top cuts were hand polished to resemble factory finish as much as possible.
Mitred edges on external edge under cabinet.
And not ONE full tile.
Super fussy client, when I asked the thickness of the tile and door frame to be fitted, he produced a digital micrometer on both occasions!
Wasn't as accurate as mine tho!
Made me smile!
I did like the shower diverter tho, very slick,
there's a second one outside the room too.

A lot of people might not appreciate what's involved in delivering that quality of work Marc, first class delivery by the way..
That's why I asked how long it took.
Pricing jobs like that needs to be right or they can be a disaster.
Was the customer an engineer by any chance?

Thanks Lee, make you right with the pricing tho, I'm getting there tho and I'm much more resolute these days in sticking to my guns.
Funnily enough, no he isn't, he's a property manager, mainly commercial, he's just incredibly precise in everything he seems to undertake.
He wouldn't even fit the lights til the tiling was done cos he was concerned as to how they may cause shadowing in the room.
That wall cabinet was hand made,and after he'd given me the finish detail around it, he had to have it reduced in size by 5mm cos he miscalculated. Haha didn't bat an eyelid tho.
He was showing me yday the paint finish in his living room, and how he felt that the colour wasn't flat enough, he bought a matt White from Farrowand was unhappy as he detect a slight reflective sheen in it! Get the idea? Haha

Jesss that guy needs to open his eyes to the world and realise that there's more to life!
On another note I insist that the finish lights are on when I tile so as there's no surprises when they are turned on and the angles change.

I'm the same though Marc, can't stand any type of sheen on wall. Have to use daed flat emulsion from F&B and their Estate Eggshell that has the slightest sheen on woodwork. Bit anal, but I know where he's coming from

When they turn the lights on Lee and you could climb up the lips ?

No john, I can clearly see your point and can appreciate a man knowing what he wants, I'm not dissimilar.
However, standing on one leg with your head cocked and squinting thro one eye facing the sun, I believe is pushing expectations a little too far! Haha

Not in my world …….. wouldn't expect anything less 😉

John, I actually believe that to be true! 🙂

Please accept my apologies then Marc, it's embedded deep in my DNA….. It is either right or wrong….nothing in-between
