[Diamond Pool Finishers]

we need to coin a name for automatic reaction we all get when we go in to a place where tiles /stone are fixed and we check out workmanship,setting out, tile bead's, boarder's, mosaic's, the whole lot,it happens to me most day's , if i see other's work, yesterday i when in to my daughters down stair's toilet for the first time, i just could not help it when i joined everyone in the lounge she said OK dad i replied not-bad just dodgy setting out she looked at me like i had lost the plot i think i have any name's please guy's/gal's and we will choose a winner

Sometimes (and rarely) in the world of the smartarse tiler, we actually see tiling done by someone else and think 'thats a really good job!' - And I for one always get a nice feeling inside when I witness top class tiling by others

[peegee tips]

mmmmmm.........

I think you'll find it happens no matter what job you do.......we just can't help but critique & question!

My missus says it should be called " sad git syndrome "

Dead right

Like i said in another thread I stayed at Cameron House, Loch Lomond last month and I did everything in my power to find fault with the tiling and I had to admit defeat and accept it was perfect

Another problem seems to be "I tiled that" syndrome. Usually commented to anyone near you every time you drive past a job.
