What do you think about this prep work?
I have a tile job to do, the contractor was responsible for all prep, I just need to show up and tile. Well, we have all been through this before, so I decide to stop by and see his work before I schedule the installation.
He has 3/8" underlayment over 2 previous plywood layers, plenty of thickness, joists are adequate for deflection etc. Here is the problem, he stapled with 3/8" narrow crown staples, 6" OC, and left no gap between the sheets of plywood.
I am planning on plunging a circular saw into the plywood to get a 1/8" expansion gap, and screwing off the whole floor. Overkill?
I am working directly for the HO who is willing to pay me the extra for the added work. Would you guys discuss this with the GC, or let it go?
