I started the job this morning where in a few days i'll be laying the Vitra dotti's i mentioned in another post.
When i was first called up about it the scope was to tile the floor of the "playroom" after the studwall is taken down that seperates it from the kitchen.
When i was round to price the job i looked at the current floor and mentioned to the customer that the current tiles sounded very hollow and rattley. Anyway, i gave them 2 prices, one to tile the playroom and some how join to the current floor tiling, and after discussions they agreed to see a quote to supply and fit a tile throughout.
They went for the second, and i started to lift the tiles this morning.
This floor has been down 4 years, the only thing holding this floor together was the grout, and i'm pretty sure the guy who laid it added PVA to the grout, but i can't be certain. The adhesive has been poorly mixed, it was dry and brittle, and certainly no primer has visited this floor either.
