one of those days!

[garretridge]

started job today downstairs bathroom 18m2 with those cheap 6" sq white tiles from b&q not a square tile in the box some tiles were more than 2mm bigger and some were badly warped how are we supposed to line up with 2mm spacers and keep the grout lines even i hate them.in the future i am going to price myself out of these type of jobs it is not worth the hassle anymore a job that should take 2 1/2 days is going to take an extra day to put right! i cant wait till there is an end to this recession and people spend a little more for quality tiles again!

Have to agree with Faithy - a jobs a job!
The problem is we get spoilt by the quality of some manufacturers and when these jobs come along
However 'when I was a lad' we had to use match sticks for spacers and if anyone can remember Candy Tiles - they were so bent you could tile around corners with them!
I've said it before ad I'll say it again - ' If it was that easy they'd do it themselves'.

I've been indoctrinated into that order recently, hi Pete

[mikethetile]

i also remember sticking chicken tiles on every other job..............i was sick of the sight of them

we are lucky with the choice on offer now
