Bad tiling thrown off job!

[Time's Ran Out]

I always lock them out!
Nothing worse than a customer seeing a job half done. Too many questions - why have you put matchsticks in the joints? That’s when I stop for a cup of coffee and have to start again! Why is there a gap in the corner? Why is that wall darker than this wall?
Go away!

I've never put matchsticks in joints..

My late father used matchsticks in joints in the 8o,s I remember helping him on a job when I was 13 , a match fell out the joint & I stood on it in the bath it sparked up & burnt the bath, acrylic bath...He belted me in the chin.....Am sure he buffed it out with wet sandpaper though......

Sounds like @timeless john may have to up his PLI.... To include fire risk...!

They were all duds!
No plastic pegs with sand and cement fixing - all environmentally friendly wood matches - Swan Vesta were the best.

i remember guys in the 80s using string, and dry spaghetti and swan vestas were a must for the old project tiles you modern guys havent lived lol

Weird how we all differ as regards to our 'eye for detail'. I'm blessed and cursed for having a finely tuned eye for detail...if I do say so myself

Its always held me in good stead and has allowed me to take calculated risks if doing something for the first time. I do know when to say 'no' though.

Its a shame when people subject others to that pile of *****. Either because they have absolutely no conscience or are so desperate to earn some money that they'll convince themselves that they're capable of 'pulling it off',

Time for a hall of shame gallery? Its shocking what some people seem to get away with.
