I'm at home waiting for the tile guy to show up. I wonder if he won't and I'm afraid he will.
Here's why. When the old tub/shower was removed and the new one installed, a gap appeared between the where the floor tile ended and the new tub began. It's about a strip two or three inches wide and runs the width of the bathroom.
So I asked the tile guy yesterday about this and was not encouraged by his answer. He would be willing to re-tile the whole floor for us without, of course, telling the general contractor about it as long as we paid him (the tile guy) cash.
First, you have to remember that the floor was re-tiled around November of last year when we did the house renovations. So I don't take it kindly when someone offers to re-do the entire floor as a "favor" to us.
Secondly, what kind of workman tries to cheat his employer out of money? Let me give you a hint, a person that you don't want in your house doing any kind of work, much less tiling the entire floor.
So it's almost 9:00am HST and no one is here. In a few minutes I will be calling the general contrator and asking him where his tile buy his and when will this supposed three-day project actually going to end. Sigh.
I get the feeling this won't be done for at least a couple of weeks and may require the filing of a law suit. Big sigh.
