I turned up to tile a bathroom floor today,I'd offered to get all materials for them at cost but they said they'd get them.Fair enough I gave them a DETAILED list of the items I needed.
Turned up today and they had 6mm ply not 12.
Couldn't believe it.Where's the grout?where's the spacers?Wheres the primer?
"Oh I forgot them!"
"Where's the adhesive?"
"Oh I have that,its just over there."
"Where?"
She picked up a TIN!"Here it is!"

:whatchutalkingabout It was only a bloody tin of some sort of wood glue:mad2:

"Why didn't you get 12mm like I said?"
"Sales assistant said this will be alright for tiling on(Jewsons).:mad2: :stupid:

What stupid things have customers asked you to tile with?

woman on the radio once said she stuck her tiles on with 'pastry'! still stuck ten years on! DON"T EAT HER PIES!!!

I've heard alot of people in my area have put down floor tiles on laminate with Silicon!

When I've asked some guys jokingly if they'd ever done that a few did say YES!:whatchutalkingabout

i took my brother once to grout for me wiliest i finished the tiling there was only a bit of grout left so i told him not to add to much water i went outside and he was tipping flour in with the grout i asked him what he was doing he said He'd put to much water in the grout and was trying to make it thicker he honestly thought this would work:mad2:

Perhaps if you used self raising it would bring the floor levels up. :joker:

 

[howard]

Hey how many times have you been asked by the customer if you can bang some more adi on to level a wall that a plasterer has had a go at and said " that will do a tiler"
