Was working on a bathroom showroom and they were behind getting partitioning up for me at one point,when they suddenly got quite in front of me they wanted to catch up for lost time so they said one of the Albanian labourers was a tiler back home so we'll give him ago,I gave him the easiest bay to do just normal ceramics,normal set out.
He did the left wall first,then the right wall.I told him he'd be better off doing the middle wall before the right so its easier to match the lines up but he told me he knew what he was doing.The foreman asked me to keep an eye on him to make sure he was doing alright.He thought he was really good even moving onto another bay before doing the middle wall of the one he'd already started because he fancied the other tiles.The foreman asked me to finish his other bay and I said the tiles better meet up
Had a close look at the bay:whatchutalkingabout left wall was started from the bottom with half a tile,right wall started with a full tile,lines were out 20 cm.
Looked at his other bay and the top tiles were like steps no straight lines,foreman saw them and went mad,no more tiling for him.
I did another job,put all the off-cuts in a box before left one night(tidly)came back the next and some bloke had thrown them away in the skip,told him there wouldn't be enough tiles to finish the job and he told me it was my problem:furious3: Told him that if he didn't have the tiles out of the skip by the time I had got my tools out of the car then we were gonna have serious words:3: :13:
They were there waiting for me just in time,luckily for him
