I don't mind watchers either...I normally discretely slacken off my pants so they can watch the crack of my arse at the same time But when they start getting involved, it really grates. Now they're cutting into my time which they obviously don't want to pay extra for!! Just the way I see it..
I have an opinion that we as a collective have crucified this job.I can see that on completion even if this job is finished to a high standard, payment in full could be a problem. The concept of helping end users is admirable but sometimes we give up too much info a little bit freely.If the job is not done to spec then the HO has avenues to go down to get restitution(Sid & others). I think people can come on here & hook us & reel us in to get info that can be used against us.Just my opinion.
Ok hands up I was wrong I got it wrong and jumped the gun when I said get a different fitter just from looking at the pics of the prep, he may of had to dash off but there is still no need to feather over high pins feather finish is a finishing screed not a feather then knock pins down the next day leaving a hammer dent, I just hope he completed the job to high standard a d the customer pays up in full
How many questions?? Let the poor guy do the job it's like you don't want it to be done properly weird imo
If he's left a good job at the end then great but IMO loads of people going round saying they can fit LVT to a good standard and they don't. I used to work at a place with 20 odd fitters and loads weren't any good at it despite being shown how to do it. But when we had lots of LVT jobs on they would be doing some fitting an it wasn't good as I was going back to fix a lot of jobs. I think staples are wrong way of fixing ply to floorboards because they can work there way out and cause squeaks which is horrible to hear. If planks are lifting that's not good and needs the fitter coming back to fix it.
Ring pins will also squeak daz not as often but still squeak if theres a hollow in the floor.and yes the fitter needs to adress the lifting planks but my guess is there isnt any lifting planks or we would of seen pics by now
Know what you mean Andy, if I see any voids I sometimes fill them will rapid repair or grip fill. Or if after the ply is down I just put some screws in. For years I used the spotnailer ? I think its called. The one with the mallet but was always having to put screws in too.
I have a expanding foam can on a gun If theres any voids fill it with foam which levels the void and acts as a adhesive to
dazlight;89603]Great idea!!![/QUOTE] I make sure I mark on the ply where the foam / hollow is so I dont pin it and pull ply down making a hollow again, when its dry and hard you can always put a screw In after if it doesnt adhere to the ply
