tile started today...
they were working on it when I got home. looking good.
then the tiles start to drift apart a bit...
I guess I need to stop coming home while they are working. they always seem to screw up when I am here. hopefully they will fix it before continuing. I am getting so tired of pointing these things out all the time and I know they are tired of hearing it.
when they were laying the coping I caught the guy putting the cut piece in the center of my stairway. I said, c'mon, really? why don't you put the cut piece near the corner where it turns? he said no, look, I have 2 full tiles on either side of it! so it is uniform. I said please humor me and switch it to the turn please. they didn't bring any extra pieces of coping so were reluctant to cut one because then they would come up short. really? no extras? this is probably the cheapest possible option for coping around and you have not even one extra piece? unbelievable.
on to the spa coping. the pb told me up front that he would bury the short piece in the back so you wouldn't really notice it. I said of course, that only makes sense. well, guess what? again they put not one but 2 cut pieces right where you will mostly enter and exit the spa. right by the inside step. wow.
by the way he also cut the jet pipes back so we could sit in it again and see that the locations are ok. last time I checked cutting a pipe shorter didn't raise the height of it.
but it will all be good in the end when we are splashing around in it. right?
