Eighty percent coverage? We don't need no steenkin' eighty percent coverage, we just need the tiles to be in plane.

Or is that a wet area, Dave, where we don't need no steenkin' ninety-five percent coverage?

I see about 10-12 TLS and a few of some other DTA lippage system.

Doesn't matter what the leveling system is, that's like blaming the wall tile manufacturer for the installer doing a 5 dot method.

No, the lady called and asked if she could send a few pics of her shower. Said she didn't think it was right. Has glass liners going in the holes left open. Not sure what she is going to do.

It's interesting to see one picture with only one tile '' removed ? '' somehow , Dave .

Did you ask her to pull one out ?

She will start a thread asking what's wrong with the install. The first response will be "what kind of screws did the installer use?"
