Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Having got to bed around 1 a.m. after the Istanbul trip Joan nad I decided that a look at what work had been done on the new en-suite area during our absence.

Horror of horrors, the tiling in the new bathroom was what one could only term atrocious. A call to our builder was the first step and then a large discussion about the standard. It appears that his regular tiling man, who had done all the downstairs work was not available so he had asked his foreman to get a replacement, this one was his second cousin three times removed or something, but one thing he didn't know about was tiling.

Today and tommorow they are removing all the tiles, cleaning up the walls and starting again with the original tiling man. Give the builder his due, this is all at his cost and these were expensive Italian tiles we had picked. Of course all this means another delay in completion but we will just have to live with that.
