Tilers are the prima donnas of tradesmen. I've heard so many stories about them throwing hissy fits: I don't carry tiles upstairs ... I will not tile in this awful colour ... etc.

lol! I am so sorry...but this is funny....(not zip's misfortune of course)

Prima donna tile guys? Are you kidding? lol!

squirell nutkin · 03-13-2010, 06:15 PM

Zen's right. The tilers I've met on jobsites are a sensitive lot. The Australian painters and Canadian sheetrockers are another story altogether.

I think they get delusions of being artists, working on a great mosaic or something.

zippyt · 03-13-2010, 06:27 PM

Im Sure they they are Artists , but i just want a Fucking SHOWER !!!!

Ok , The shower men were here Today ,
they had me take out what I had done ( Poorly )
and Put it All back Correctly

Notice the STREIGHT and correct seems ,

They did the dry pac shower floor After they layed a Bladder ,
oh and the Giant Misshapened seat that I built ,
they tore it out and rebuilt it ( breaking a Flat Pry bar in the process )
All and All I am Happy with day 1

Awesome! I'm impressed...

Cicero · 03-24-2010, 10:28 PM

Great! Sounds reliable and professional so far!

xoxoxoBruce · 03-24-2010, 10:44 PM

Congratulations on progress! Those "pebbles" are bigger than I had imagined them to be, after looking at the Cooltiles website.

zippyt · 03-24-2010, 10:46 PM

they have Pea Gravel sized sheets as well
we think these will feel cool where the pea gravel sized would feel sort of Prickley

That's awesome that you found tile guys who won't do a half-assed job, and made you re-do what they thought was lacking. It's always a pleasure to find people who take pride in their work and will stand behind it.

skysidhe · 03-25-2010, 10:35 AM

Look at those rocks! hehe

lol all I could manage was hanging a rock motif shower curtain.

It's all zen.

That's a whole other story for a different place though.

Love what you are doing zyp!

Shawnee123 · 03-25-2010, 10:59 AM

I am holding in my hand (well, I was before I started typing) a rock that looks exactly like one from your tiles. Is it like some kind of quartz or something? One of my nieces or nephews found it years ago and gave it to me, and I've always kept it at work. Kind of like a worry stone.

Now I want to take a shower while standing on it!

zippyt · 03-25-2010, 04:53 PM

and made you re-do what they thought was lacking
