Who would fire this installer?

[havasu]

I sure would!

I want to fire the guy who hired him.

Ugh.

Could be what the customer/architect wanted?
If that’s the case, I would do it and take their money! No shame in my game.

 

[havasu]

No, I believe they laid it bottom to top, and only used the end cut for the starter on the next course. By utilizing just a few extra planks, they would have made a real nice, random pattern. I also dislike that grout color, but the customer gets what the customer wants!

I have one of those coming up soon. I'll try and do better. 😁
Toe kick to toe kick is probably about 5 ft.

Maybe they had just enough tile to do it that way.

 

[havasu]

Placing the tile in a random fashion doesn't take any more tile than what was used.

I would keep the installer and the salesperson, take photos , hand them out, and wallpaper the office 😜 as a daily reminder of the lesson learned.

What if the installer called in and said WTF but was told to do it anyway or pack their tools and don’t call me again. Not a lot of people, let alone installers, are in a position in life to say NO and walk away.

Yep ! Circumstances are very much a consideration and the reason WE as individuals and society could choose to be more flexible.

I know we have all walked. for example, a 200 yard vinyl job on green concrete, no thanks.
