Another low bid

Shower walls were set over 1/4" wonder board, everything except accent band was five-spotted to walls. Demo went much quicker than expected. The use of silicone at the liner to drain joint had caused water to run out onto subfloor over occupied space. We are bidding against these guys!!!!!

The cut from the throne to the window is bad execution.

I think that's the first photo that fits in the worst tile thread and the best tile thread.

I thought it was Obama's?

I just tore out a shower with the top of the clamping drain upside down,weepholes plugged,no preslope,greenboard,mastic,and the pan actually glued to the outside of the (drywall) at the curb,and the tile masticked to the pan,screws at drain height in pan,and no waterproof on the window ledge.
My camera is lost,but it was actually in pretty fair shape with only a little mildew at the curb.
