I'm in Kentucky, but these were snapped in your fair state of Florida while on vacation. Sanibel to be exact. The weather was lousy and so was the fishing so we spent alot of time eating and uhh err drinking. Thought maybe I had a few to many and was seeing things, but alas the pictures look just as bad when sober.

go figure!
with all the temporary tile hacks down here doing tile that were painters and drywallers the day before and the customers who hire un-skilled, un-qualified, un-icensed & un-insured so called tile setters I should have know.

I hear ya. Just imagine whats going to happen when the Obama plan gets all those laid off bankers and mortgage brokers working on our roads and bridges. At least when I stand on that ugly drain I know I wont fall through the floor. Hmmm, on second thought, the subfloor might have been done by the tile guys cousin. Oh brother the times are a changin. I pray that we can get back to the times when skilled craftsmen were what made this country great.

we can, people just need to stop being so cheap and hiring
the guy with the ridiculously low bid.
if 3 tile contractors give a bid or $8500, $8200 & $8400
and some smuck gives a bid of $6500....you know something is wrong

weird bill
that's the first thing I thought too
at least it's balanced relative to the drain
still looks like a spider on drugs though

from how the joints are getting farther apart I'm sure they used a close color from a different manufacturer and the size was off a 1/4". probably didnt think about that..lol
