Flawed Tile Work – The Floor Elf Help with all your …

Contrary to what regular readers of my blog may believe this is not a page about my personality. This is a page with photos of improper tile installations. Please do not make the same mistakes. At the bottom of this page you will find information about, well, this page and how it came about.

If you have arrived at this page without searching for something akin to tile butchery please realize these are not correct installation procedures! The captions beneath the photos are my smart-ass remarks they are not serious advice. It is simply how I tear out crap like this without my head exploding. Im certain by now this is a very long page dont worry, itll be like a train wreck you just cant stop looking.

And I made em big real big. Hey, dont complain! Im the one that had to tear all this crap out. I did it so you can partake in the full glory of what happens when your contractor either doesnt know better or just doesnt care. If youre warped like me you can click on each image for a very, very large version of each photo.

This is why I have Guedo. Enjoy.
