Tilers: Why Not Say Good Morning Before Work?

[Old Mod]

Why can't the client carry them in...?

I don’t know Andy, I’ve not even responded to the messages as yet, I’m still laughing at the statement!

 

[Old Mod]

There is something in there terms and conditions i think that states
that they will drop them at the door only. Most drivers will help get them in.

Yeah insurance conditions normally Albert.

I got a call from the client two weeks ago saying that Ctd had had a word with them and they were tomake sure that the tiler (me) had a suitable lifting frame cos these tiles are fragile and break easy! Haha
How to sell your product 101!!!
It’s amateur hour at Ctd it seems.
And the client kept banging on about how they had just had a seminar at Ctd all about these “big tiles” and I kept saying “ I know, I was there!”
She wasn’t listening, just kept on!
She’s also on the verge of loosing a tiler I reckon.
Don’t want the job as it is, got better things to do with my time.

Sorry to say but if I'm not supplying the tiles, I'm not humping them around foc.

My pet hate is when I'm tiling a bathroom upstairs and all the customer can do is back his car to the garage and off load the tiles in there......

Yeah you know mate.
Think I should send the Russian lads round that are on the site where I am at the moment.
Day before yesterday I had a crate of 21 240 x 120’s sat outside the job, I was outside speaking with Garythetiler on the phone and turned around and the crate was gone!
These guys don’t mess around, taking them out of thecrate one at a time is way too slow for them.
They picked the whole crate up between them and walked it in the building!
Animals, the lot of them haha
Let’s see them do that tomorrow when a couple dozen 320 x 160’s turn upon a truck!
They’re great guys tho it has to be said.
This is how a site should be run, it’s the best I’ve ever been on in recent memory, probably ever!


This place has 7 bathrooms, so it’s not your average sized home, and the whole place is immaculate!

[Andy Allen]

Should be moaning all....

 

[Flintstone]

Bloody shattered today didn’t sleep well. I’m off Friday and half of Thursday tho, off to BAL hq in stoke for training day

 

[Old Mod]

I’m not moaning Andy, not at all, I really don’t care if I do the job or not. I am not going to be there to take delivery unless I’m paid.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Morning all!
Hope I haven’t missed anyone through all that.
