it was one of those kirb-perfect ones and it wasn't even close to being filled or done right.

I was joking!
I'm not blind!

Yea thats one of those curb kits for rookies, along with the prepitch and all those tools for rookies who will learn to mud by cheating and never by eye or feel.

Hello Everyone. This is my first time actually posting anything so lets hope I get it right. I figured these pictures would work perfectly for this thread. The first picture is of a retail bathroom wall. Second and third are ones I came across online. The guys is always trying to get work in my area...I wonder why nobody uses him. Kneeling on tiles that we put down with mastic, no subfloor/ditra, didnt pull the toilet (yes they actually cut tiles around it and slapped grout in), the shower wall... I think it speaks for itself. Does the list of problems ever end?

But the base should still line up with some of the floor joints regardless....ditto on the layout of the floor though
