Tiled a floor and forgot to put probe in for ufh

tiled round a kitchen island and went off square,had to get a tile laser cut to fit

the list goes on lol

i will stop now before I make a complete Hugh hunt of myself

that was a long time ago btw I'm not bad now
 
My biggest mistake involved one of a pair of very expensive vases placed on shelves high above either side of double doors, me trying to carry to many plastic trims through the doors.

I will leave the rest to your imagination.
 
Tiled a bathroom up to boarder height picture frame only to discover the boarders were landscape. .....and so should the field tiles have been..😳
 
Tiled a wall once halfway up in stack pattern , and grouted out ! The next day customer came back from hols and said it should have been laid in a brick bond pattern , also dropped a tile onto a shower tray once which had to be completely ripped out ! Well all make them !!!
 
Worked on a site ,and the carpet fitter's turned up and asked me the name of the owner which was right so they started to lay the carpet got to the last room and they was short of carpet,I then just mentioned have they got the right house as the son has brought the house next door,oh dear :yikes:

Tiled a full bathroom then realised I forgot to put border in! Felt like a right **** when customer pointed it out. Another one, had a bathroom to rip out, all tiles to come off walls and was flat out busy and pulled 2 chavs in I know to pull bathroom out/tiles etc.. Dropped one off outside the house while he waited for his mate to call, his mate arrived half hour later with tools, these 2 headers walked into the next house, upstairs and started ripping tiles out of the bathroom while the owners daughter sat downstairs thinking they were in to do a job for their parents lol. Now this is the funny part if it, once the owners found out, the husband went crazy but after some calming down by his wife, I ended up with getting paid for tiling the new bathroom because his wife was wanting a change. The 2 chavs however didn't get paid for their work. Could have ended up alot worse but its been a good aul laugh in the pub when I see that cple lol
