Never Easy

[andysocial]

In the process of laying the subfloor, just about to start putting the tile down, the tile guys punctured a pipe where no pipe should have been. You know where this is going, don't you? Pieces of cement backboard have been ripped up, a plumber called, and another multi-hundred dollar charge is added to my floor. Oh, and since the water has to be turned off to get it fixed, no bathroom or kitchen a day earlier than expected.

I sure hope this shit gets done by Wednesday, or I'll have a really long day at work on Friday. FMITGA.

Edit: The plumber only cost 75 bucks, plus I had to buy a drywall repair kit for another five dollars to fix the wall he had to cut in order to get to the breach. It's never easy.

Rut row... :(

Ended up being 75 bucks, so not as bad as I feared.

Oh good, that's not so bad. This is your house you're having tile installed in?

[andysocial]

Yep. So tonight I get to patch some drywall, nail back the baseboard, and hope things go better tomorrow with the tilelayers.

Yowza. I bought tile to do my entryway...I'm planning to do it myself along with a mosaic or some kind of mosaic border.

I pay other people to do these things, with the expectation that it will cause the project to be faster and less error-prone. Sometimes, I'm wrong.

hehehe.... I've had it happen both ways. If you ever install a pool and want a custom mosaic piece, though, let me know. :-)

[andysocial]

I'll keep that in mind. :-)
