Tiling misshaps

[peter241]

I fixed about 5 m2 of ceramic wall tiles a few weeks ago and couldnt understand why the tiles were not sticking to the addy. after a lot of perserverience i managed to get them all up.

Job done so i thought,

I had a call a few days later and had to go back to replace a tile that had come loose. when i got there i got the bag of addy that i had previously used, opened it up, and realised that it was not addy, it was self leveling compound, Derrrrrrr

The bag of self leveling compound is the same color and style as my floor and wall addy,

I put the job right and the customer was happy. thats the last time i go on an all night bender the night before work.

can u beleive my luck. haha

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I was doing a job in a police station. We had just self levelled a corridoor when this young WPC puts her head through a door we had forgot to get locked and asks can I walk on this. One of the lads jokingly says "yes love go ahead" and she goes sailing arse over tit down the corridoor. She was mad as hell and us in fits on the floor didn't help either.

I had just finished tiling and sealing a kitchen slate floor.....in fact it was the final coat of slate seal......all dust sheets down in hall way etc.....i worked my way back out of the kitchen and into the hallway......carefully put the bottle of slate seal down onto a spare tile which was on the dust sheet ( no probs )....
Then stood up to admire the floor.....turned around to walk out side for fresh air as sealer stinks....caught the dust sheet with my foot and the bottle tipped over into the dining room....ffs only carpet with no dust sheet on......slate seal does not come out of wool carpets......

That's where your liability comes in handy.........so always make sure you are up to date......

This one wasn't my misstake, but it was certainly a misshap :wallbash:

Some time last year, I was laying a floor, and I was nearly done. All of a sudden, a sparky pushes past me as I was laying the final tiles in the doorway, the ******* skids on my freshly laid tiles, and half the floor is ruined :mad5: I asked him "why the :censored: did you do that for!?!" and he answered "forgot a screwdriver... :embaressed_smile:"

This one is toilet humour but here goes....

Doing a job a few years ago with my brother (fitting Amtico not tiles, sorry)
The two of us are in the hallway chatting to the owner of the house, I noticed that my brother was standing a bit funny and he seemed to be shaking a little.
Anyway we finished chatting and as soon as the lady has gone he erupts in to hysterical fits much to my amazement.

He calms down and between fits of laughter manages to tell me that whilst talking he got a wierd sudden urge to do a number 2 and as mr crayon poked his head out he snipped off a little marble of you know what. He wasn't wearing any pants and the marble rolled down his leg and out of the bottom of his snickers and across the floor without us noticing.

When i was about 18 ,i was tiling my uncle's bathroom,half height aaround the sanitary wall and full over the bath,i was packing my tools away and my hammer was on the window cill i went to pick it up and proceeded to drop it through his brand spanking new sink ,it went straight through and landed on his brand new toilet brush holder he had just placed in the bathroom.:furious3:

Another one, i tiled a close on 400m2 floor and had just layed the last tile when the client came on site and said she was'nt happy with the finish,luckily for me she had no problem with the tiling she just did'nt like the all cream finish of the tile,she had the builder take them all up and i re-tiled it the following week using the same colour tile but with a reddish border running through it, was great got paid twice.
