A Tiler's Bad Day.

A chapter in the book Geoffrey's Musings.

Sloppy Work

by Sankey

You have heard of 'bad hair days.'
How about a bad tiler day?

He comes to get started, but what a let down.
The original measurements made, prior to
the water-proofer's work, were wrong!

A compensation in the amount of preparation
before tiling, is needed.

The adjustment is made, and off he goes for it to dry.
This has put the job back an extra day or two for completion.

To top it all off, he gets to his next job -
only to find exactly the same error, as on our work.

The thing about a tiler is, he must be an even tempered kind of guy.
He is the one coming to a job that is nearing its end.

Not knowing all the hassles that have gone before, he has to
bear the brunt of the client's frustrations.

Inconvenience has been his client's lot,
unable to use the tiled area, for particular functions.

Especially when it is so important for bathing and
other unmentionable purposes.

Thankyou God for our patient tiler, and our patience, too.
