Okay A Clients "friend" told her he could do work cheaper than contractors I had quotes from. Apparently does this as side job. NOT his day job. So no licence, no insurance.... I supplied tile and Hardie board, Her walls have lots of movement _ leaky Condo originally. So he removed tile and has been replacing with her old Drywall in patches. Hardie board unused. Bent piece was I assume for return to window since there is matching piece (with huge gap @ top) other side. He was also to do tile, I have done tile before for her, but usually hire as I am shopping , refinishing some of her furniture and other things on this job. Ames , tile contractors suggested Hardie for 2 reasons - movement in walls and and fact that I have been wiping counter of water every day, I assume is from sprayer less than 1" from backsplash.
So after talking to him I have concerns: Return to window on opposite wall that was not square, I asked to fix he removed completely, will not put back.
Where do I end Tile, so design issue?
#1 I asked if he needed new blade for the glass I had one- Has no Idea he said what size blade his saw uses. #2 Had no Idea what rondec profile was #3 wanted to use thinset over Mud he has everywhere to cover patches. Will Priming these walls be enough???
He has also built her a new mantle n(before I got there for makeover) for replacement for a heavy new tv. Ledgestone was put up to old from above down to top from above. He removed NO rows of the China Multi ledgestone (still avalible @ Ames )- NOW ledgestone below on 1 side is A) no longer flush to walls. B) I have found bits of mortar on floor. People that have looked @ it, said looks like Lag bolts, is what was installed with.
I would have had it installed TV above mantle or steel rods for mantle.
He has told her he did reno for Architect in area so she assumes he is great, She of course wants done ASAP. which if he had not said anything all work would have been done. Of course I can not get tile guys -they are on new job. I did tell her my concerns.
