No ego here I know my place I'm just empowered guys it's more about how I got to this point then some tile work but y'all can say what you want your the same guys had I put I was going to do all this before I started, would've been the same ol negativity about how I couldn't do it or whatever else to knock me. I fully understood the seriousness and complexity of these projects, def not playing with people's investments or my Business. And all of you that got jokes I bet not one of you had the courage and or ability to jump in this game and create success with no experience. Trust me I've done tons of remodeling so this ain't new to me and you guys should be better then me hell y'all probably been doing it for 30 years and that's fine I've got a highly successful gc that guides me on things I need guidance on. And Gary the fact of the matter is I love guys like you, you add the extra motivation cs while your talking down and being a cheerleader I'm at the same position in this game as you, be a leader man encourage guys that are where you once were, but you rather talk down and get some jollies off one liners, come on man you really disrespecting yourself, your business, and whatever it is you don't stand for. I'll share my story of how I got here and what I've faced later on, tilework ain't **** son just something I enjoy doing and is a challenge pretty soon I'll have a few crews out here still making ppl like you show your true nature. All I know is homeruns or bench riding we in the game living dreams while you watch at home and eventually fade away. I'll be sure to keep you posted, I'd love to see what your about and compare customer satisfaction and gross profits at the end of the year, numbers don't like let me know if your up to the challenge I have no problem shutting up cheerleaders.
Everyone else thanks for the advice we re all in the same craft so should be a brotherhood but I see alot squat when you piss and probably take your ol to work with you sorry I can't relate to that so keep it positive or save your 2 cents for someone that cares
There are a lot of us on here who started with nothing. This business is all about taking on more challenging jobs having what it takes to deliver the goods even when you have never done it before. Its part of growing.
That being said. You are extremely arrogant. Slow down and breathe, you've got a hard fall coming if you keep it up with this attitude.
Good chance you'll get a call in the future to tear out that shower when it leaks. I've never heard anyone so naively confident in their abilities on their first shower.
Yea Dan I don't take advantage of clients. I clearly stated I installed all aspects of the shower correctly, moisture barriers, slopes, etc. The job is not done as far as edges and lines go. Updated pics coming soon and this is totally waterproofed, Thinset especially for glass tile, all the above so don't worry my work doesn't and won't fail
You took their money and never disclosed it was your first time doing it. I bet they wouldn't be so happy to find that one out.
If you have never been trained to do this, how would you know? There are so many little details that you couldn't possibly have covered.
You didn't even know how to finish the tile edges.
And not knowing what you were doing, how can you be so certain it won't fail. I've cleaned up enough projects done by guys like you. Keep working and we will have plenty of work to fix.
Job site ribbing and acting like children are different, I could careless about the negative talk, I'm getting paid clients loving the work and it was done right so until you guys do something to affect that scenario y'all just stating opinions
My first shower was pretty rough too, I was 12 and it was at my dad's house. The second one was better, it was at a friends house. The next 5-6 I did side by side with a long time professional installer. My first job for a customer, on my own, I disclosed that I had only built half a dozen.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out why you'd come on a site for professionals and post a first try and expect a lot of "atta boy's". Pissing all over people right off the bat certainly didn't help. A little respect and asking for advice would have gone an entirely different way. Good luck with mastering construction in the next 5-6 months though.
I'm going to ho out on a limb and guess that handypro is a real treat to be around in person too!
He reminds me of a local contractor in my town that always has to boast about how big a house he's building now, how busy he always is, how much money he spent just on nails for a project. SMH... Then I see him at the lumber yard and he has to use 10 different credit cards to get one that works, just to buy a saw blade!!! And his houses are junk!
I do hope handy stays around because this is really good entertainment!!!
You call yourself the real pros I know don't sit around and have time to play on mobile apps all day. And yea it's a craft to me too obviously and it's about all aspects the money the customer satisfaction the feel good of creating whey the client wants from scratch. So sorry you guys are upset but you get no respect for judgments made on a couple quick pics of unfinished work. The fact you guys had to ask it I put a shower pan or waterproofed tells what level you are really on, and out of all the people who ivr done work for and who have seen this project no-one said anything negative except you guys, architects and project management guys on site hired me for their personal property work so yall stay holding on to these golden days of its the craft ima a pro and we'll keep threatening your make believe reputations. Internet tile professionals y'all are all getting laughed at out here they told me to tell y'all to put as much time in your craft as you do pretending on a mobile app and maybe you'll have something to retire on
C'mon dude. It's wrong to do that to someone who's paying. Those grout lines above the niches look like hell and I can't even look at the rest of it.
If I were you right now, I'd be tempted to sneak in at night and scrape it all off while the thinset is still young. :innocent: Then get someone else to redo it.
Dont be a puss, rookie, just take the criticism like a man and take notes.
This forum has an unbelievable stockpile of talent, experience and examples in the tile forum. I read it quite often and take notes, and rarely post in it as I have little to offer the experts there.
Why be proud of having no experience as a hand before breaking out on your own? I have never understood that. Learn from a pro and keep developing.
They dont require english composition for CM degree?
I think you guys are being trolled. This is probably someone who took some shower pics off a DIY forum and is just messing with you all. It has to be, right?
There is no way this guy received any type of education after high school with the way he writes.
I believe someone is messing with us. He just bragged about 85k of sales for multiple bathroom remodels. I'm pretty certain some of you do that in one project.
You know, a few years ago I probably would've been the first guy in here tearing him a new azzhole. I just ain't got the drive anymore lmao. Glad you boys are on the job :laughing
Bottom line - that shower looks like ****. My 16 year old kid can set tile better than that. Of course he's been a helper on more real tile jobs than the op too :whistling:
Once this is grouted and if your client ever sees this thread I am guessing at best you will be tearing this shower out. There is a Facebook group called Tile Fails I think you will have a new posting there
From his Mom's basement telling her that the bad guys on the internet are being mean.
