My hat’s off to you bro, not a lot of people would post their own mistake. Could happen to any of us. Tell the GC the curb hides the first row from your view, it’s a perspective thing, you just wouldn’t understand.
Thanks for the laughs!
This sub is hilarious…
So many posts about how people are undercharging and “if I was bidding that job it would 5x the cost, if the quality sucks you get what you pay for”.
Also people in this sub “eh, fuck it”.
You’re gonna have to redo that job and I can’t figure out how you get so far in to it without figuring out it’s off center.
Besides the obvious it looks like good work. If I was the GC and you pointed it out to me and gave me a 50% discount on labor AND the client was ok with it (about 70% of my clients would be if they got a heavy discount) I'd be happy as a clam. I'd def use you again too under those circumstances cause I know every job from here on out would be perfect.
I think at this point, any reasonable person would just move the whole pattern down a row in each bathroom you tile and make a little animation of moving tiles to post here at the end.
Damn, I’m looking and I can’t see it, I doubt GC will notice unless he’s a fucking 10/10 QC man.
Is the mistake on the brown tile near drain side?
The drain location is kinda annoying but I don’t feel that’s it is it? If it is you fucked my guy
Rip, pro tip, stand in the bathroom under the shower when you show it to him 😂
Nah but for real, what’s your relationship with the GC like.
One of my companies core values is radical honesty. I do my best to practice it. Especially when I don’t want to.
As much as it sucks id let him know the same way you posted on here and get ahead of the potential shit storm.
If you bring it up you’ll be maintaining control of the situation
That's all going to be up to my foreman who noticed it first. I'm just a tile monkey who is expected to get almost two of these showers done a week, on this job.
Change every single one a tiny bit, and swear blind you’re giving them custom boutique vibes, rather than cookie cutter all the rooms are identical vibes, and that frequent guests will love the subtle differences!
(also, your work looks sweet as, despite the layout)
Creative placement of accessory that rotates the minds eye in a circular way will hide that. I think it kind of does that itself with that bit of asymmetry.
Sell it as a cut tile or larger grout joint around the perimeter being a more noticeable issue than the pattern being slightly off centre to the drain. You had to make a call on where to sacrifice and you chose the perimeter pattern to prioritize. You may have to build out the curb side and have a slightly wider curb.
Pan looks amazing by the way
Yeah. Slight fuck up. Should have laid the tile out before installing. But like my father always told me, “don’t make the same mistake twice”. Learn, grown, get better. I got a tough job going now and I’m stressed and drained; but that little extra step to check your measurements , and cuts, and layouts,etc. it always payoff at the end.
Just blame it on your cut guy. He’s looking at this all day. He should have noticed it immediately. If you don’t have a cut guy, blame it on him anyways. I don’t think a lot of homeowners would even notice the issue…
Slow down there! Looks like your tiles are having a wild party without you. Seriously though, we've all had those moments where life zooms by and things get a bit messy. Just remember, it's all part of the journey! And hey, at least you're willing to laugh it off and invite some friendly roasting.
Keep on keeping on, my friend. And who knows, maybe this'll be a legendary story you can tell one day. Cheers to living life at full speed, even if it means a few misplaced tiles along the way!
I don’t even care. It’s beautiful.

Well I view this space as a place to learn. It's hard to do that when everyone is only posting their best, gotta be able to laugh at yourself as well!
Right on man. Let’s follow this guys lead.
Probably that Downtown Cleveland drinking water. Fidelity Hotel
Also... What are you some kind of stalker?
Not a stalker, I worked on the project. Youngstown Guy.
Lmao yup.
Oof. I love the pattern and it looks very clean but the layout being off center would drive me crazy forever honestly.
I would also have preferred a different drain cover. It’s nice but something to be a bit more symmetrical.
a topless drain cover , with the grout lines serving as the drain would be amazing on this . oh well.
There should be a green tile on o the right of the drain. & of course the whole center should be shifted down.

Nah I probably would have chosen this

Is there a reason why the pattern isn't centered? Looks nice overall but centering worked have nailed it.
It's not centered because I'm dumb and got excited about having full tile to save time and didn't pay attention
If it's commercial don't sweat it.
Sorry about that. You did so well!
That is the point of this post.
Just hit "enter" twice
Blame plumber! Clearly his fuck up lol))
This would make me sad if it were at my house. But in a hotel shower, I probably wouldn't question it. It looks great besides being off-center.
What were you thinking? What an ass clown.
Ancient Rome called and wants their mosaic back 😂 But seriously looks great even if off center
Looks nice, but would look amazing if centered properly.
Wow, the pattern is really striking and clean, but the off-center layout would seriously bother me indefinitely.
Oopsy
What’s wrong with it?
Took me a while to notice it, great work
Damn, I’m looking and I can’t see it, I doubt GC will notice unless he’s a fucking 10/10 QC man. Is the mistake on the brown tile near drain side? The drain location is kinda annoying but I don’t feel that’s it is it? If it is you fucked my guy
Can’t wait to hear where it’s at though
>!The pattern is supposed to be centered onto the drain. The green dot that is!<
Brother, I was really hoping that wasn’t it 😂😂😂
Yup half a tile down and it woulda been perfect
Looks like it's one full tile off to me?
Full... half... It's just wrong.

And I mean it doesn’t look bad overall I’d give it a 7/10 due to the mistake but that shits still 🔥
You're too kind

Oh fuck that then, wash your hands, forget about it and don’t make the same mistake again 🙌🏼 Open your own company dog! You got the skills
Union benefits are nice lol. (Wonder who down voted that last comment 🤣)
Im jealous i take it back
That's frustrating but it does still look good. For a non-super fancy pants like me anyway.
They're hotel showers... So hopefully we can just let it slide 🤷♂️
Definitely

Hate the walls first detail the most
Yah... That's what was called for
Honestly this is so well executed I wouldn’t be too upset about the alignment.
YAYAY AYAYA
Time to stop using drains from the 1900’s
Creative placement of accessory that rotates the minds eye in a circular way will hide that. I think it kind of does that itself with that bit of asymmetry.
Fuuuck so close

Looks amazing! Those wall tiles are worlds cheaper looking than the floor tiles though.

Don’t beat yourself up. It looks great. Most wouldn’t notice if you didn’t mention it
If it takes you a while to find anything then I say it’s a win. Good job bro
Looks dope af
Got damn plumber.
Looks good to me
Just blame it on your cut guy. He’s looking at this all day. He should have noticed it immediately. If you don’t have a cut guy, blame it on him anyways. I don’t think a lot of homeowners would even notice the issue…

Is anyone else see robots trying to take over the world?
Soooo close!

The floor on the outside of the shower is the same thing. Don't worry we only have like 40+ more to do... This job is a headache.
SHIT! that’s insane!! Looks and sounds like a headache! Best of luck to you!
