Latest report on Sparkles bathroom

[Gazzer]

For those that remember a woman going by the name of Sparkle....http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-forum/72147-any-advice-re-bad-tiling-job.html

The outcome that she was reccomended a "good" tiler to sort this out..... The reality is what you see below. As understand it , it involved a full retile !!!!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Has she got a direct line to you Sir or are you getting your cocoa there 3 times every week?

 

[White Room]

They usually say third time lucky:yikes:

 

[cam_low]

Well I'm just going to laugh. Hahaha haha. I had countless inboxes to her telling her to go see this guy's work. Bloody doughnut. Serves her right. Ffs how frustrating. Am I being harsh. Am I funk.

Hi i'm Toby, used to post on here years ago in my darker days as a newbie 'course trained tiler' and decided to come back on and see whats happened to all the old names.... good to see there are loads of you still on here, some may even remember me.

Anyway Holy S!!!, i just spent the last half hour (whilst waiting for my primer to dry!!) reading the original thread and was really enjoying the debate between busy tilers and not busy tilers and time served tilers vs course trained tilers that i decided to make a brew, sod the tiling off for an hour or so and settle down to a good read about how great her new pro tiler was. Maybe i'm being a bit harsh but why the hell did she not check this guy out properly rather than relying on her 'friends ex' who just so happened to be available the next week and was happy to do it at mates rates before she went ahead with him?

I have had quiet periods myself before and don't think being quiet means you are no good at tiling by any stretch, but given the circumstances of her specific situation i thought she would have questioned this guy on every single aspect of his business including why he was available so quickly as well as going round to previous customers houses to view his work..... How very frustrating people can be, after all the advice from you lot on here and she still didn't listen... Unbelievable lol

I do have sympathy for her but if i'm honest it aint very much.

What a shame.

It's all Deanos fault! .... :sofahide:

 

[Rossymcg]

She seemed a bit cranky to me, going in to her life story about being on her own and the useless x who didn't bother with his kids, I'm not sure if all she was after was her bathroom tiling

 

[AliGage]

Got no sympathy for her at all Im afraid. If you can't learn from your mistakes! She was warned and advised to check the next one out.
Too trusting or carefree with her money? Either way, stupid.

Hear hear, idiotic behaviour.

 

[Gazzer]

She bombards me with emails, all i say is that its crap and she keeps going on and on and on........

She want you to go and fix it?

 

[Gazzer]

She has hinted but I dont think anyone would really. Best keep out of it.

 

[Rossymcg]

I wonder if there's another side to the story, ie she had proper tilers round and scared them off and in the end she took what was on offer, she just seems weird and I most certainly wouldn't help out,

[TJ Smiler]

yeah I get the sleep thing, not something I'm good at either!
oh yeah thanks for the 5.22 wake up call by the way! Haha
push email can be a bummer sometimes!

 

[TJ Smiler]

Hahahah sorry feller but by the time it was 5.22 for me it felt like the afternoon lol.... i'll bear your sleep in mind for the future though **yawn**

Haha no worries chap. Normally up at 5 but I'm local tday and was due up at 5.45 anyway. No biggy!

 

[Andy Allen]

From the very start it sounded like shes after someone on the forum to do a free job for her or at a reduced rate by going for the sympathy vote. Personally I dont really like it when they come on here telling us there life stories. ....deffo a sandwich short of picnic. .

 

[charlie1]

There certainly something suspicious about the situation. In her situation you would think she would be going radio about what's happened and stick to the subject, she seems to be wandering from the main issue. Possibly lonely girl just looking for something else.

 

[AliGage]

I hate it when a bad job is done but FFS Learn a lesson. If money was that tight and the first job was so poor yet would of thought she'd of been a lot more cautious and thorough in finding the next tiler.
Im struggling to figure out why she wasn't.

Should have question him when he asked for money after three to four hours,as you say feel sorry but at the end its her own fault.
