One who was away working id imagine.
They are as bad a tile as Iāve ever seen. If the tiler was in his right mind he would have asked were you sure these are the right tiles before he started work.

Well Iād agree with that. āI thought they were a bit boldā was what he said, when in fact heād been consulted on the colour beforehand.
Everything needs to be checked twice when this is going on.Its going to be a total pain in the balls for the builder now.The tiler is no doubt booked out solid so it could be ages waiting for him to come back,the tiles will also be a cunt to take up with the new type adhesive unlike years ago when theyād just pop up.
My pal had one light moment when he showed his mother, who has Alzheimerās disease unfortunately.
āGood Godā she said ātheyāre awfulā

The tiler is back at it straight away fortunately.
I wonder did your pals beloved tile company offload them on purpose as there is no way anyone else was ever going to buy them. They look like they have been languishing at the back of a warehouse since the 70s.

The tiler is there to put them down not to give his opinion on what theyāre like.This is why people are always complaining that chippys/block layers/plumbers/tilers never show up on time.Its because the crowd they are currently with are making basic mistakes and expect you to hang around waiting on them to make up theyāre minds with no thought given to his next job where Mary is waiting for him to show up.

The builder will be sending them an invoice to cover the cost of the tiler for his extra time
150m of a large (60x60?) porcelain floor tile
Labour costs must be north of 5 grand?
They are rotten in fairness
Itās very unlikely that heāll walk off your job in my opinion, itās a dream job
Some poor granny in oughterard who needs her shower cubicle or kitchen splashback tiled will be waiting till December now

Well he should take a photo and send it in to customer asking to confirm if correct? People only build houses once, these boys lay tiles every day. They know the issues. I was putting in a shower in a long narrow space. The electrician wired it up on the long wall rather than to the top of the narrow wall and they chanced their arm saying shure itāll be grand. They also put the sink in a spot where the door would be hitting it. They said a door stopper would do the job. Basic stuff you donāt think youād have to explain to them.

My pals bad.
They look like theyāve been stolen from the floor of the canteen of a 1970s warehouse on an industrial estate in Tallaght.

I saw a lad doing a smashing stone wall earlier. Iām years putting off getting my wall done, but I really liked this one and pulled over to talk to the stone mason who was ploughing through it on his own. Halfway through talking to him I realised it was the same guy Iād asked twice previously to price it (you probably know him, the Slovak, but he cut the dreadlocks). He realised the same when I gave him directions to house and said āAh you are the guy I never call to, maybe we get it done this lifetimeā.
