I think you should stop them right now Lindy. That is a job for a Tiler, a Grouter and an apprentice. You are tempting the fate of an industrial demarcation dispute if you use specialist worktop fitters to fix tiles to a wall. Your home could become the scene of demonstrations, picket lines and unseemly exchanges of abuse, or even worse. R P.S. Please keep us updated. |

They are still here lol fortunately living in a housing association (ex council) property not costing me a penny piece thank goodness, taking out the worktop they managed to smash 6 new tiles so instead of replacing six they took the whole row of 27 off and are replacing them all, the mind boggles. xxhugxx |

One man cant make a decision on his own he brings the second to check his theory and the 3rd man disagrees! One must be the 'measure' man One must be the 'Cut 'man 3rd must be the 'hold it' man So No1 measures, two cuts and blames 1 when it doesn't fit although man 3 said it wouldn't in the first place!! Would you like me to bring my chain saw? Jess x |

Some Men are all talk aren't they? My Husbands uncle came over last year to help him lay the patio as it was quite an awkward size etc. The man spent all morning arguing with everyone on the best way to do it and when they all finally agreed on it, sat there and did nothing! Men also seem to need regular tea/fag breaks too - why can't they ever just get on with it? Kaye ;-) |

Some may recall my new kitchen going in a few weeks ago, well as they did not seal around the sink the worktop has now expanded and a new one is going in today, well there are three men here all trying to decide the best way to do it, before anything gets cut they have this massive massive discussion about whether or not they are cutting the right place, then its all back indoors to check, double check triple check another discussion, still no cuts xxhugxx |
