ivy 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 I did my homework, drove back to look see look see. Luckily I did. Tiling work has started. Met the 2 tilers at my door, who just came back from their lunch. Friendly people. A further check on the delivered tiles and I realise me and uncle both make a big wu long mistake... As mentioned earlier, my toilet wall and floor tiles are pretty close, just that the wall is slightly darker and shinier. The 2 tilers weren't sure which is the tile for the walls and we started digging thru the pile and realise aiyoh... my toilet wall tiles are not among the pile... They delivered all the floor tiles but not wall. My wall is using 300 x 600 while all the grey tiles delivered are 300 x 300. I guess uncle is the confuse one who did not order the wall tiles. Partly my fault cos I pass him 3 separate pieces of paper with different tile codes with cancellations here and there. Probably he got confused by the pieces of paper. But never mind, at least we detected the error before the tilers start work. Credit to the tilers who bother to ask, instead of assuming and smack on the wrong tiles. They have just started on the common toilet walls. This panel will be the feature wall, the other 3 sides will be using dark grey tiles. Initially we planned to tile up the whole toilet wall with this tile but after some thought I think i'll be very overwhelm if whole toilet looks like this so I change the other 3 sides to plain tiles. Will pop by this eveing again to see the progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 That time, I brought all my samples to the house I pasted masking tape on them (With the correct places written) and placed them on the tiles delivered. I also went through with the main tiler how the tiles were placed. And after that, my dad also went through with them how HE wanted the tiles placed. They obviously listened to him.
