Work this one out..

I priced and won a stone tiling job 62 mtrs( 500x500 tumbled limestone)....After some crap cowboy prep work by the builder..( springy timber floor joists) i walked off the job..

Now to the question...for installation of hardi and un-coupling membrane and installation of stone i recommended 28 bags of adhesive ...so i got all the materials delivered ready to go then walked as mentioned above.....

Substrate is flat..ok...so would you say 28 bags should have been sufficent for the bloke who did the tiling..?

I am only asking as i was informed today that the customer purchased more adhesive..

Soooooo..how many bags do you think he has used so far...3 weeks later and still not finished..:lol:....

Be interesting to see how it takes before the problems set in,would serve the customer right for not taking you advice on prep.
