The Joys

[Stef]

Just got a phone call from the site agent, I Tiled 2 floors, 18m2 in each, finished utility floor & had about 6m2 left to do in the kitchen. Goes like this..

Stef this kitchen & utility floor is meant to be brick bond?

Rab I checked the trade sheet & it doesn't state brick bond?

Stef I know it doesn't but I've talked her into keeping the utility floor straight bond but she wants the kitchen brick bonded.

Rab the floors not level enough for brick bond it's gonna be a nightmare & the tiles ain't great as they are bowed.

Stef just take out every second row of tiles & it will be fine.. etc etc..

Not back on site till tomorrow morning so we will see what happens.

The joys of being a Tiler..

Same thing happened to me, site manager showed me a bathroom that had already been done with tiles landscape, different tiles to what i was using but said just do it like this one. Finished first bathroom (only 6m2) asked him to check it over and then says he thinks tiles are suposed to be portrait, had to rip them all off and do it again! i hate site work

 

[Stef]

lol i meant nice... whats aga??

This is the Aga.

 

[Stef]

This is the floor finished. Turned out not too bad but still not my greatest.
