Morning this isnt a thread about me needing encouragement god knows you lot have given me enought off that!
I did the job i mentioned but whilst doing it the members off family kept slipping up on different trades men they had fallen out with a roofer a stonemason a prevouse tiler and a joiner....
So i started to get a bad felling abad getting paid. Any way really needed the brass for today so stopped on job till half past 9 last night as i wanted to lay floor and grout it same day.
i had dry laid it day before using 4mm spacers so thought it was ready to go until the customer came in said they wanted 7mm spacers down and said they wanted them instead!!!!
So i shaved all the floor tiles down again then they complained that they wanted the ply put down differently I didnt think it made a difference how it was down as long as it covered all the joists???
Any way laid the floor waited 4 hour (it was red hot yesterday) then grouted it in white.
Waited for customer to get back as they had to pop out (conviently) they didnt turn up so went back today where i was told you should never use white grout on a floor????????????????????????
And i should have used the brown that was in the shed I dont know about you but i cant read minds and im not going to route about some ones shed.
So now i have to go back monday to dig up grout and re do it.
I quoted a silly price on this job the room isnt that small and i quoted 200 to do the floor and walls (against the advice on here)
Ill finish it then giving up on the tiling.
