More tiling

The tile layer completed tiling the bath in the main bathroom, the shower base in the ensuite and added two extra tiles to the kitchen today. He is unable to tile the remaining tiles to the kitchen wall until the top cupboards are replaced.
I also spoke to him today regarding the ensuite shower tile laying. On the tile plan we originally chose to have vertical brick bond tiling to the shower walls with the metalic rust 300x600 tiles. We are tiling the spa ourselves and there will only be one row of tiles on the face and one row for the splashback. I explained that I thought it would look crappy if we cut every second tile in half at the spa to get a brickbond effect and if we tiled the spa tiles straight the shower would not match, he totally agreed. I therefore requested for him to tile the shower vertical stacked but not brickbond.

I spoke to Man in charge while SS is in holidays to approve the changes and he said no probs. I copied the drawings wrote the changes on them and then delivered them to site. I wanted to avoid confusion and to back the tile layer up so that he does not get wrapped over the knuckles for making changes.
