This week, we had about 1000 square feet of the lower level of our house
tiled in ceramic tile. This is the area that comprises my home office.


*Lower level* of your house? So you had your basement tiled. Why not just
say so.

And it sounds like your first quote was off base. I would guess even a non
union company would have beat it.

What is so special about laying tile that you need to be union? The way you
rave about the details of the work makes it obvious you have never put down
tile before. Hell, my sister tiled her own counter top and back splash
without a lick of problem. No need for union workers to do it for her.
