He worked Tues, Weds and Thurs. Though on Thursday afternoon he went AWOL.

Your post had me in hysterics, Sean! The slithers of tile looked like Cadbury's fingers! There's no way I would want them on my wall! I've had a nice glass of wine or two and I'm ready for bed and I hope to sleep better than I did last night. Hubby thinks I'm brilliant, but chipping away at the adhesive on those tiles is not something I would want to do again in a hurry. Thanks, everyone, especially Pebbs, who helped me through all this. Night all.

Went to look at this job for Kate today. Most of it has been taken off now and as luck would have it the PVA was mixed so strong it has come away from the plaster with the adhesive. I think its about 2-1 as you can almost peel it off like sunburn!

I will be putting in a price to finish the bathroom completely and hopefully (subject to acceptance) we can bring a happy ending to another poor quality job.

I have some other pics to upload and will do those later on.

Now Im going to chip in, I was totally disqusted by the so called workmanship that Kate was subjected to here. Its no easy job to tell any tiler his work basically is way below par, even little me has the jitters once in a while doing this task. Kate stood her ground and she was well armed, and it turned out ok. How many others on here have we seen where they have paid the so called tiler in full, because of intimidation tatics that these cowboys use? There is a myth that anyone can tile, and its exactly that a myth, Ive got rid of more so called tilers than Ive retained because they think they know what they doing they talk the talk but cant walk the walk. Its been a costly exercise, and a never ending story.
I want to thank this forum for educating people, not just the newbies, but everyone, there is a pool of experience from professionals on here, so tonight Im raising my glasses to you all.
