Hi, started job today. Had 2 stacks of 7 boxes tiles per stack, black tiles. Started job, laid 2 boxes from 1 stack, went to get another box, took it off the stack and found a box of white underneath. Checked remaining boxes, and found equal amounts of both colours. Customer then informed me that a chess board pattern was required. Not too fussed about replacing tiles, but really not happy cleaning the ones i took up.That'll teach me to ask what was required !!!!!

And to check the box's before commencing tiling..

[simonb43]

One fine day last year i had a kitchen and hallway floor nearly all tiled when the builder and his customer walked in at 5.30 pm.
The customer did not like the colour of the tiles !! oops. (builder had bought them cheap,lol).
I had to to lift 27m2 that evening and the builder wanted them saved,lol.
I used them on a job for him a few months ago again,lol. He got away with them this time.
