Then I found out the floor pan is leaking to the basement. No biggie. I'll just cut it out a few inches up and do a new pan.
Then I started cutting and kept finding wet plaster. So I cut higher.
And higher.
Still wet.
I have a foot to go until I reach the ceiling.
I don't mind the work, but I have to leave for Kentucky at the end of the week and have a bunch to get ready for that. I'm basically going to have to demo his whole shower then leave it like that for two weeks before I can finish it.

That's why I stopped telling people I do that kind of work.
'I just wanted my light fixed! What's cloth wiring?'

I specifically told him I don't do that kind of work but he tricked me into doing it.

That's always how it goes. 'I got this job, it should be super easy for you, ... ' and that turns into 'Why is wire so expensive'

is this how you really plan to spend your last years on earth? Doing random plumbing for people who could easily pay for it if they really wanted to?
Sad

I'm not much of a DIYcel, but does fixing the leaks and the plaster necessarily involve smashing the tiles? That seems counterproductive, especially if you can't find matching ones anymore.

Pretty much. They're effectively cemented in place, you aren't getting them off without breaking them most of the time; like trying to peel the top off a custard cream.

counterpoint: when the installation is so poor they don't stick, you can be pretty sure that's not the only thing that was done wrong!

That's the thing with high meat. You love it while you're eating it, you hate it when you're puking your guts out afterwards.

Maybe you should have told him first, then asked him if he wanted you to proceed.
The bathroom looks like shit anyway.
Is this judge friend even making 80k a year?

You cant just do a few inches at the bottom of the shower and slap a new pan in. To do it properly it needed ripped out anyway.
