Uneven = rustic....

That's a good one! What I hear over here a lot is "It's within spec."

When I say "OK fine, which specs are you using?" , I just get a blank stare.:incazzato:


yeah lol, tiles with 5mm joint one end of the room and nearly butted up near the door is rustic.

Also cutting a huge c shape out of the tile making sure it leaves a full inch gap round the architrave is also rustic :) actually maybe he considered it a sizeable expansion gap :D

Get your own back on the plumbers. Do a short plumbing course and you could then take on plumbing jobs. I've got another 2 small plumbing jobs lined up this week. Bolter, hopefully you will get a call in a few months time to do the floor.


exactly what ive done booked a 4 day plumbing course nearly finished a full bathroom installation ive also added a mixer shower and changed bath and sink wastes not the easiest to start with and its took me 3 weeks im sick of waiting on plumbers and plumbers that think they can tile so ive done the opposite and ive been given funny looks off plumbers in the plumbing merchants when im asking for advice one lad turned round and said get a plumber in instead" it winds them up

i dont know everything about plumbing but im still learning

:yikes:5 mm on one end and tight on the other end....and we just finished a floor where we sweated bullets trying to get things as perfect as possible...the tiles were ~12" X 12", warped/cupped/out of square, and we fought with each and every one of them. Once we were done and the floor was grouted, the max variation along the joints was about 1/16". I was relieved that it looked as good as it did because I was worried the whole time we were setting this floor. So it kills me to see a bozo like this getting away with murder and caring not one whit, while we :mad2: trying to do the best job possible with the tile and the substrate that we have. Sorry for the rant but it has been a real PITA the past few weeks.

NICE!:thumbsup:
