tile costs

rez | Posted in General Discussion on April 16, 2004 04:29am

You guys don’t charge enough.

Only thing that pulls myass outta the fire is forgiving color tones on adaptable tile so the grout sweetens it up so easily.

I think if I had to lay a large floor with solid color tile I’d be SOL.

And feeling like you finished a game of tackle football the next day.

You guys ought to up your rates.

        Doiing the kitchen I take it....Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....                                        WOW!!!   What a Ride!

          Kit came out ok

          Doing a little dentist office reno the other day and putting in a tile floor.

          Has an old cast iron toilet flange and whoever put a layer of plywood on the floor later on sometime didn't remove the toilet when they laid it. Roar!

          Thankfully American Standard makes a ten inch wide base easily found without a special order.

            A toilet in a dentist's office... This is better than the one that uses a rock drill on rebar braces...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....                                        WOW!!!   What a Ride!
