I thought these pics were better posted here. These are a few of the examples of the backsplash job noted elsewhere on the forum. The HO's pics didn't do justice to the offense.
Enjoy,

Damn Paul, that is bad. I have to say it, what's with the uncovered granite top with the crow bar on it?

They countertops are next on the list for replacement, I know the HO's are working out of order, but I don't get to make those decisions.

Shouldn't that be mastic on the doorknob? I found that once with my new helper a few years back.....

I was hoping they used mastic, then we could have saved the tiles. Sadly they used real thinset. Although the thicker areas 1/4" or so, were still soft after 3 days.
I'm afraid to try to clean the doorknob. Any suggestions?

We should be finishing the install of the replacement travertine subways today. Grout tomorrow. Its a shame the HO had to trash all that beautiful crackled glaze tiles. Yes, we work Sundays to by special request. They needed this done quickly and I felt so bad for them. They have a full bath build out coming soon and we are on the books for that, so working one weekend is worth it.

Why do their architects waste the money if their budgets don't allow for a competent installer?

I know this is off topic, my friends bathroom is being redone through his home owners, the insurance company is giving him 1,100 for tile work labor this is for 2 mechanics @ 16.00 an hour. I have to mud the walls and floor...
