It's had loads of primer and it's still sucking it up like a sponge.

Bathrooms ready to tile...

And the best bit......
The customer wondered why it took 3 hours to run a bath........
It could be something to do with your dumb *** plumber kinking the pipe..!!

[Andy Allen]

When I looked at the job she told me all the walls would be prepared ready for tiling, by her A1 do it all tradesmen....

But He's totally messed everything up..... And now he's not answering her calls...
Will they ever learn...??

[Tile Shop]

So me and my little helpers were supposed to start the smallest kitchen in the world yesterday. Didn't happen due to other stuff going on. Finally got started this morning. Chopped the old tiles off which was easy as they were tiled on paint. Tried scraping the rest of the paint where we were supposed to be tiling and it was stuck solid. So tried the old ready mixed tile adhesive softening tried an that worked a dream. Primed and mixed up some norcros slowset and off they went. So heres the pics so far. Not bad for a group of people that have never tiled before. Will finish the walls and do the floor tomorrow.

Are you sure Andy? It really does look like the old solid plastered wall, then mosaic tile, then plasterboard and then skimmed plaster with old tile adhesive on

That's bad, even considering some of the stuff I've came across over here that's up there.

Agree.

Been using schluter trendline trims today, lovely. Nothing else like them. I know there’s a big trend for mitres at the moment, but the customer didn’t want that

I'm going back in the new year once the taps sorted so I'll check...... But it looked like some kind of backing board... Hardie??..... Houses were built by the council, so they might of waterproofed the walls... But why sandwich it behind the p/b ??
To be honest I was so peed off with wasting a day I didn't take much notice..
