My worst nightmare

[Rob Z]

Phil, I'm not kidding when I tell you that I think that guy just poured out his mix dry and then sprayed it with water.

I've torn out (that's a strong term-shoveled out would be more accurate) some real nasty shower floors that never even got tile on them, and in some of the cases the so-called tile setters just shaped the drymix with the trowel and then started pouring water on it.

you should have stuck 1 tile to that then went back the next day to show the customer the outcome!!!

Hope you had runners on Phil?
This morning I was finishing off an office job and people walking all over my grout!!!
Aw well I had doors well open so the ultracolour and tiles dried off quickly! Lol.

Ahhh ! so thats where my trowel went !!! :lol: Jokin apart , what is anyone supposed to do with that ? gotta say this, if we had a individual licence system similar to the aussies, then this pratt could well be bound legally to leave this job in a proper fashion. Good luck with it mate, Steve

Don't think you needed to rip it out just a shovel would have done:lol:
