Haven't heard for a while. She was taking him to court last time I heard cuz she'd spent her last few pennies on getting this done.

Just going through my collection of pictures. Some may have already been posted before, but some are also worth a second laugh 🙂

Problem..... Moisture ingress and shading on BCT tiles. Multiple causes including not the greatest quality, tubbed adhesive (on a 500x250 tile) and dot'n'dab (can see from the patches)

Crackle Dados are not to be used as Skirtings. Especially when up against a truly floating floor. This floor is going to be used as a trampoline in the Rio Olympics.

Oh, and there's a pube!

Absolutely, surely joinery is a finishing trade on par with tiling, this is a brand new kitchen ok probably Howdens or the like but I couldn't for shame leave that n sleep well 🙁

I ain't getting involved in no caulking, I'll deal with my bit, joiner n decorator can fight over that bit 😉
