worst ever

[LM Ceramics]

i did one bathroom it was the worst job ive ever been on to date a few things went wrong

1) stained a cream carpet with grey grout (my fault)
2)had to remove the sink to tile behind the sink was stuck pulled it off and the trap pulled off from the waste which wasnt fixed properly and stain on the ceiling
3)chipped the bath which to be fair was already chipped abit before hand stupid me used a dustsheet over the bath when removing tiles as there were no proof i had to foot the bill for the damages
4) (this is the most stupid thing ive done but i was pressured into finishing and i had a massive job the next day which i could let them down)
Tiled a full bathroom and when i came to grout there were a power cut in the whole area no light in the bathroom and i continued to grout with limited light from the landing light needless to say when the power came on it werent the best of grouting jobs from my point a view completley spoilt the tiling id done luckily the customer thought it was ok

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

My worst nightmare happened about 10 yrs ago, it was a half million pound extention. You can imdagine the size of the place. I had tiled 4 bathrooms, kitchen etc. The entrance floor I had done in 400x400 marble, one morning I arrived on site carrying my tools + some plastic tile-trims. As I opened the front door it snagged on a persian rug.I stepped forward to move the rug, I felt the tile-trims catch on the top of the door,then heard a swish followed by a crash.

I looked up to my right to see an empty shelf, looking up to my left I see what looks like a chinese vase. The lady of the house appeared at the top of the stairs saying "are you alright Phil." She surveyed the scene, and put her head in her hands and walked back into her room, with cries of "oh no-oh no". Her husband then appeared and said to me, " just because you had a bad night, you do'nt need to start throwing things about". By this time I was convinced I would loose my house. When the lady of the house came back I apologised, and added you will have to knock the price of the vace off my bill. She informed me that my total bill would not cover the cost of the insurance for this what once was a priceless pair of chinese vaces. To my relief she told me it was her own fault for leaving them on display whilst work was still in progress. Pheeew.:yikes:
