Don't kill yourself mate, it takes as long as it takes. I tell my customers you can't rush perfection. My pet hate is when I am asked "when will you be finished" that's before I have got one tool on the job. But customer is always right, they pay our wages

what a waisted journey, part of kich all ready tiled last year, show house,
the area to be tiled coming of existing tiles was carpeted ,we had to lift carpets.
6mm ply to be laid see pic ,told agent no way is that ply thick enough did,nt want to know
floor at one end sunk see pic , coming of existing tiling , tile drops half over sunk floor..told him floor need sorting, says he cant it has,nt sunk there is a metal beam runs along there,thats why its like that
i suggested ditra matting not having any of that either. just tile it i will take full responsibility , told him i cant its not right, the guy im working for as suggested we put ditra were the floor as sunk & level it up . yes but what about the 6mm ply, annoyed, how can we educate these guys
