They had to come back on a fucking Saturday to fix this tile they installed shittily, and this is the "fixed" product.

I asked their head guy if they had a tile saw for the inside and outside cuts, and he said they can cut miters with a hand grinder as good as they can with a tile saw.

LOL

The amount in labor this company is paying 3 guys to wait around while 2 guys cut 1 45 out of a tile would have bought them a fucking tile saw.

These dudes are all 10-20 years older than me, so they obviously know waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than I ever will.

Is that edge trimming on the second corner from the bottom? Is that supposed to extend the whole way down to cover the sketchy miter?

No, that shluter piece is for the wall tile, this is cove base.

The whole reason they are fixing it is because these mongoloids though it would be OK to install cove base ON TOP of the floor tile, not flush with it like it is supposed to be. It makes it easier to clean the floors, no corners just a nice halfpipe shape
