I was setting some tile today in a clients kitchen, the house is about 130 years old and as you would imagine the floor is not level or flat, the tile was to sit flush with oak flooring at either end of the kitchen island, following all the prep i laid the electric under floor heating and applied a leveling bed of adhesive to take out the worst of the dips.
While the adhesive was going off the client returned home with her dog, the first thing i said was to “keep the dog well away from the kitchen”, “no problem” was her reply.
After about 10 minutes the chimney sweep walked in, dog wet mad, ran towards the chimney sweep, straight through the adhesive, kicking adhesive all over the units, i chase the dog, the client chases the dog (we went round the other side of the island) and the chimney sweep looked on bemused. the dog managed to run through the adhesive once more before we caught him.
i had been in a down beat mood before this happened, but had a good laugh about it over a coffee once we had managed to clean up the mess.

A strip of caution banner might hold off a human............
but nothing short of a baricade can slow down a dog.
Sorry for your problem, block those fuckers out of the area, rest easier............and enjoy a semi stressless job.
yeah right.
