Very nice, but if I were you, I'd remove all photos that aren't a completed job from the website.

Tiling over paint overspray...FAIL

10mm notched trowel for that sized tile...FAIL

Muddy Floor...FAIL

You should be ashamed of your substrate preparation...Seriously flawed indeed

I have done all sorts of experiments sticking tiles to different surfaces and different glue, but I will not go into it here. Too much thick glue under the tile will cause lipping , as glue dries at different rates the glue will cause some tiles to be drawn in causing lips. A lot of tilers fall into trouble with this. Glue needs to cover 95% of the tile and no part of the tile is to be touching the substrate in 18 years I have never had a call back.

This page is the Adelaide page for adelaide tilers not the Brisbane page so please go back to lala land.

now just hold on here a second before we start a fight i have to agree with frank the floor looks dirty and should of been cleaned prior to tiling you should use a larger notch for tiles that size and back butter as for the paint you should never tile over paint yes it will stick sometimes but paint has a history of splitting once tiled and what prep work did the painter do in the first place to paint the sloor i doubt if it was even swept so you are running a large risk going over it and one more question why did you use white silicone around kitchen sorry if i offend but the truth is better

check australian standards reg glue coverage you may learn something

The small cut down one wall is a bit of a no no to. Didn't spend a lot of time in the set out? I can see you started centre of the hallway, but really you should check how the rest of the house will end up in relation to it.And make adjustments accordingly.
You see this & the other things already pointed out, are the little things that make a job take longer to do & therefore more money per metre is needed. I can see how you can charge such little....you take short cuts. Doesn't matter if you're in Adelaide, Brisbane or some roadhouse on the Nullabour Plains....they are called AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS! Learn them. Adhere to them. Charge accordingly. Or leave yourself open to ridicule.

You cannot offset the entry, If you do that in Adelaide you wont last long.

Mate, you would only have had to move it around 20mm by the looks of that sliver of tile. No-one but you would have known the difference. Sharpen up mate. I didn't realise Adelaide was the cutting edge of the Australian building industry.

Its 30mm
Which would make an offset of 60 mm
Cant do it
Will look like

Whatever mate. You continue on doing 2nd rate work at 2nd rate prices. It'll all catch up one day.

just mind the talk guys in my eyes a slither looks worse

Got a challenge for you Flawed. Find one adhesive manufacturer who will warrant their adhesive over the paint over spray in your pictures and I'll withdraw my earlier post.

More than happy to have a chat about how the cellulosic ethers and/or fibers that are added to nearly all tile adhesive affect drying shrinkage of the adhesive at varying bed thicknesses and how lipping cannot be caused by using a 12mm notched trowel rather than a 10mm. All that aside, I believe that the Australian Standards have already been mentioned.

Actually, this whole forum is about improving the tiling industry in general, but you can take the advice and information offered here or not. Also, it's a public forum so if you don't want people to comment on your posts, don't make them.
