Bobs “Wonky Wall”


Once upon a time, there was a man named Bob who decided it was time to renovate his bathroom. Armed with a toolbox full of determination and a DIY spirit, he set out to tile his bathroom all by himself. Little did he know that his journey into the world of tiling would lead to a series of hilarious misadventures.

Bob started by watching online tutorials, convinced that he could handle any challenge that came his way. He bought the most beautiful, shiny tiles he could find, envisioning a bathroom that would make his friends green with envy. With a smile on his face and a spring in his step, he began the tiling process.

As Bob enthusiastically mixed the adhesive, he couldn't help but hum a happy tune. He spread the adhesive on the wall, proudly placing the first tile. However, his excitement soon turned into puzzlement when he realized the tile was crooked. He tried to adjust it, but that only led to more crookedness. Before he knew it, he had created a zigzag pattern that resembled a roller coaster rather than a bathroom wall.

Undeterred, Bob decided to soldier on and fix his mistakes. With the patience of a saint, he removed the tiles and started again, this time using a level to ensure everything was perfectly straight. But his previous mistakes seemed to haunt him, and the tiles still ended up askew, forming a bizarre pattern that seemed to defy the laws of physics.

As the hours turned into days, Bob's bathroom resembled a modern art installation more than a functional room. Friends and family who dropped by couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of his eccentric tiling. They affectionately named it "The Wonky Wall" and suggested that he should of gone to The DIY School and completed their 4 Day Tiling Course

But Bob was determined to conquer the tiles. He embarked on a third attempt, hoping that the third time's the charm. However, his determination was no match for the stubborn tiles. They seemed to take on a life of their own, randomly sticking to the wall in a haphazard fashion, as if laughing at Bob's futile efforts.

At this point, Bob was ready to throw in the towel. He considered hiring a professional, but his pride wouldn't let him admit defeat. So, he went all-in for one last heroic attempt to conquer the tiles.

He swallowed his pride and booked himself onto the 4 Day Tiling Essential course at The DIY School. After completing the course, he went and tiled his bathroom the correct way.


As Bob stood back and admired the expertly tiled bathroom, he couldn't help but laugh at his own misadventures. He learned a valuable lesson that day: sometimes, it's best to get some proper training and not just watch online tutorials. And whenever he needed a good laugh, he would look back at "The Wonky Wall," his epic tale of tiling gone wrong.
