I actually thought about that.
Wreck the place then phone em say it's been like this for 4 years and I have a wee baby and that...sob sob..............

just goin to be doin it at weekends so will take a while.

Taking the tiles off all 4 walls is a nightmare..specially the 2 brick walls..

Honestly the guy b4 me that put them up has 1/2 " of adhesive on them..
