Nooooo!!! Second time, same way??? Fuck!! I'm not a tile installer but hell, ESPECIALLY with large tile spot bonding seems absolutely ridiculous. Wow.

There is no better word for this than that. I realized why he didn't redo it because it would mean removing the tile from around the tub and the other walls; he ones that didn't fall then but could have fallen later. Yes so bad! The things people will do boggles my mind.

Thanks so much for reading and empathizing.

The tile falling would have been scary and annoying the first time. But when the tiles fell off again, because the contractor had done the same thing — I would have been so angry!

It’s unfortunate that so many of your articles are informed by renovating disasters you experienced, but it does make your articles much more engaging than if they were just some tile installation piece.

Thank you for reading. There were so many things like this that I started counting the ways he was trying to kill me :). I don't really believe that is true but there were some incidents that were far worse than this.

What you say is true. If it were just some tile installation, I think there's plenty to read. Social media is full of pretty pictures when real life is often not as nice. I'm glad it's entertaining and hope other people can avoid some of this.

Yes, it’s your personal experience that raises your work above the sea of articles and pretty pictures.
