Sub-Contractor Hell (New Mexico version):

Went to put in a shower surround in a bath room and:

  1.  The damn sub-con installed the shower base cockeyed to the walls.
  2.  The two short walls he put in aren't square to to the long wall
  3.  The shower base is twisted in the y dimension

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So now I have to:

  1. Make a 2 hour round-trip drive to a Builder's Supply store to purchase tile, mastic, and backer board

  2.  Re-jigger the walls so they are square and plumb to the shower base (hopeless to try and square the base)

  3.  Spend two days, off and on, tiling and grouting the %&*@! shower

And I wasted the $400 spent on the integrated surround.

"The first thing we do is kill the sub-contractors.  It's OK because the Devil will know his own."

A real moose-hunter living in the outback wouldn't need  no stinkin' sub-contractors. He'd do it himself, with tools fashioned from the bones of the animals he'd killed.

I think that real moose hunters do without shower surrounds...
