No tile today
We had an interesting morning here. It involved our carpenter trying to start the tiling project with another of our contractor's carpenter's, who is the "tile guy" in the company. Unfortunately, "tile guy" decided to get into a long conversation about how starting a tile job without the cabinets in place isn't the ideal way to do it and that we didn't have the marble thresholds on site yet for two of the doorways. The original plan was to wait till the cabinets were in to tile, but because the cabinets were delayed, our contractor was trying to not lose any time by beginning the tile while we waited for them. We realize thte tile guy had some good points, but what this all amounted to was our contractor getting mad at him for not coming in and just doing what he was told, and he sent the tile guy home. Our carpenter was sent to another job that had to be done today, and was not to thrilled that he was here on Saturday to prep the floor that was now not being tiled (he is not trained in tile yet). Our contractor came over this afternoon and apologized. The cabinets are slated to be delivered on Wednesday, but he knows they are sitting in the show room in Nashua right now, so he may actually drive up there and get them himself so we can start tomorrow AM. Wouldn't that be nice! I did go to a local floor place today and buy the marble thresholds so they would be here when we start tiling again, so we should be ready to roll for our next try at tile.
