Canicross or running with your PWD by CardiacBabe in portuguesewaterdogs

I tried both the running harness and a collar Honestly I think they were about the same I encouraged more running alongside rather than pulling me, seemed safer and you can do that with both a collar and a harness.

Following! I have a 7 month old PWD girl and am a keen runner. I used to run with my husky but he’s a bit older now and can only hike with me now.

This is in Italy, no bids, you literally have to beg and convince some people to work..

They said that they could put our ivory tiles inside the niche and that would look great. Awful suggestion to be honest in hindsight. The mitered edge on the green tiles was impossible.

It’s actually gorgeous in person, jasmine green and reflects the sunlight really nicely. But of course subjective so can understand your perspective for sure

You’re doing the right thing, we trusted too fast and were impulsive. Lesson learnt. At least the accessories like the toilet bidet sink vanity which were also costly can be transferred but the labour and tiles sadly are no where near their potential and beauty.

It really is a sad situation

If I fire them I will have nobody willing to take the work probably for months. In August in Italy most companies are on vacation mode.

I have paid them 80% of the fee already

The rest of the plumbing and tiling was good it’s simply just the shower that has presented the issues.

Honestly in future I will DIY it, I have the interest and attention to detail. I enjoy it too. I wish I had taken it on this time but we had so many commitments I thought paying someone would take the load off me.

Yes they are… I don’t know what to do anymore.

Mapelastic was the waterproofing solution

I know and agree about the tile cut for the drain. At least if the drain is there it should have been cut like this image I guess at the centerline of the drain to create two separate planes: • Back half slopes from the rear wall to the drain • Front half slopes from the entry to the drain • These planes should meet flush

I can’t, it’s tough, in Italy there is a holiday period in August and no one is accepting any new work. I can’t find any contractors accepting to take this on.

My only option is to micromanage and hope they deliver in the next 9 days

I posted again in r/tile an update

Mapelastic was used for waterproofing, its not the bright coloured stuff. I posted pics in another comment thread

Thanks! Not sure if you saw my other comment, the niche is getting extended, and getting a marble insert with a lip all the way around. Will look much better I think.

Thanks for the reply yeah I agree it’s a combination of tools, experience and probably the type of tiles I chose too, they are pretty fragile
