Does he not like you anymore?

My wife wrote earlier that he has pulled himself together again. He's under time pressure, and if we weren’t so particular about the finishing, he would have finished the staircase today and could already be working elsewhere.

For the bathroom wall cladding, your tiler should have started differently. Having a half tile at the top and a very narrow strip at the bottom looks unprofessional; this could have been handled better.

Things are slowly progressing on our end. After the subcontractor from the utility provider sent the applications for the permits for underground infrastructure work in the public area to the wrong office, we lost almost six weeks waiting for the connections. But now, things are moving much faster.

If I hadn’t called the office myself to ask where the hold-up was, we would probably still be waiting.

The frustrating thing is that I have to pay for the trench twice, even though most of the gas and electrical lines are mostly laid in the same trench. But since I only have a reroute for the electrical line and a new connection for the gas, the billing can’t be combined. That’s hard to understand. But what can you do? The money just has to go.

I've noticed that too. I'll talk to the tiler and ask why he installed the tiles that way. He must have had a reason. I'm curious to find out.

For large-format tiles like 60cm x 60cm (24 inches x 24 inches), it would definitely be unprofessional, that's true.

You won’t really see the narrow strip at the bottom with the wall-hung toilet, washbasin, toilet brush, and pedal bin (if present) anyway.

If I were to offer any criticism, it would be of the installation pattern itself. That seems to be a new original design.
