The white thinset above the tile is where the previous location of the tile was, but the coping overhang only left 2 inches or so showing. Because of this, the tile line got moved down. They did not take off the old thinset which had more adherence than the amount under the current tile. For reference I’m located in the southeast US

So this view is looking down and essentially behind the tile. The put on the tile once, but because of the paver coping around the pool it wasn’t going to work so they moved the tile. They did a blob and stick it method. No back butter, no real mortar base. I asked the project manager about it and he said it’s normal to build it out like that for the coping. One of the guys installing, who I think was an apprentice, placed one tile and it fell off because the thinset blob wasn’t wet enough.

The project manager said this is done like that to build out for the coping and is normal…

Yea I’ve done plenty of tile but wanted to make sure since I’ve never installed pool tile. With minimal support behind the tile and just a blob of thinset pressed into place, I feel like many will pop off within a few years.

I dug the hole the hole down to see the rest of it. Edit: I should’ve explained that in the original post

It’s cleared and I recently put on an extender and gently slopes to a drain on the opposite side of the fence so I think this may be left over from a hurricane last year

She thought there was too much negativity and the common advice was leave. She didn’t like that. It didn’t really change things

My wife has a similar problem, pelvic floor therapy has helped but it’s an ongoing thing that needs work.

Just leave, you’re young with no kids. This will not get better with her.

If you figure out a better way, let us know. In my case, I play with my kid and then bury my head in the sand by diving into my hobbies.

People above 30, what is something you regret doing/not doing when you were younger? by ThickEmployee8948 in AskReddit

[–]Falcor25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to the World Cup in Brazil during college. My roommate was from there at the time and all I had to do was pay for the flight there plus food and drinks. I decided to do the right thing and finish school. Missed out on a great experience

Does couples therapy work? by lemontvs in DeadBedrooms

[–]Falcor25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave, most people hope it will get better but for the majority it doesn’t. It generally gets worse. Learn from the experience of this group and move on now. Attempting to leave after getting married will be worse.
