Why ask ......

[stu-180]

Was speaking to a building this morning who asked about a project im doing, I told him I needed to overboard a bathroom floor with 18mm ply to tile it, he told me -

"No, you just need 6mm ply"

I said "No, 15mm minimum"

I then said I will need to pick up some bagged flexible adhesive to which he told me "just get tubed stuff" ....... :mad2:

I told him the floor will fail, he insisted it will be fine .....

I am doing it my way, im just amazed that this guy simply dismissed what I was saying as 'he knows better' !

I wasn't trying to be a 'know all' , just telling him what I will be doing to which he basically said everything I was doing was wrong ! :lol:

Oh well ...

point him in the direction of TF, Stu. Best to try and educate these people towards the correct way of doing things

you could certainly point him to TF stu but i doubt it would make much difference.....sounds more like its profit over correctness to me.
personally i dont think i would be working for that builder unless i specified the materials for the job.

Cooool. You scroll around TF from a net Cafe then mate? Nice one! Thanks.

 

[Dan]

Well done for doing it the right way Stu mate.

I love it when "builders" think they know everything. Building isn't even technically a trade either! There's no such qualification for "building". You'd be a bricky, or a plasterers, or something other than builder. A builder normally means they're nothing, but have bodged their way into getting customers and jobs some how.

The moment I used to hear "my builder says...." I always say, sorry, you're what? "my builder" what's his actual trade then? "well, he builds houses" so is he a property developer or architect or brick layer - no, I don't think so! Non of those.

So you're trusting a guy who hasn't got an actual individual trade over me with my advice when I'm JUST a tiler? I couldn't care less what your builder says love.

lol
