So I've been working with a designer at Garden State Tile in
And we came up with a rather simple layout: no solid surfaces (i.e., marble, natural stone), only a smattering of glass tile accents. Oh, and smoothed pebbles for the shower floor ... but otherwise nothing complicated or extravagant.
Yet, the "tile guy" balked.
For one, he didn't like the pebbles. How's he gonna ensure complete drainage with uneven pieces?! As if we've never had a leaky shower in this house, cripes!
The glass accent pieces randomly placed in the floor, shower wall and jacuzzi riser mean he's got to cut tile. Well, shoot, he's gotta cut tile anyway because invariably the final piece in a row will not fit exactly.
He seems to just want a job where he doesn't have to think too hard while he's working. That's nice but ... that's the job across the hall where we are replacing the floor and baseboard tile. Did I mention leaky showers?
