More issues

I swear, if Bob and I weren't keeping an eye on things this build could go south in a hurry.
The latest fiasco has to do with the faucets in the guest shower and the faucets on the tub surround.
Because we are getting antsy I decided that I wanted to see how the faucet sets I choose would look.  I'm perfectly capable of putting them on and honestly I couldn't think of a single reason not to...so I did.
Hello, Houston, we have a problem.
For some reason known only to him ( tile guy) he made one hole round and the other square but these faucets ( which I might add have been down there the whole time) do not have an eschucion or in layman's terms they sit directly on top of the tile.  So you can see by looking at the pictures the base of this does not cover the hole he made.  I wanted that one piece of tile replaced...I have a ton of this bull nose and plenty of grout.  The NEW tile guy suggested we just get an eschucion and paint it.  Easy fix.  So I'm guessing that's what we are going to do.  The other issue is in the shower.
You see where the arrow is pointing?  Unless I'm mistaken most of that should be in the wall not outside the wall.  The plumber is supposed to be coming today to take a look.  I'm hoping I'm wrong but I dont think so.  This fix is not easy....they are gonna have to break down the wall behind this and Kirby will have to pull everything back.  Which means, sheetrock repair, texture and painting. Just more delays.  I havent been fond of Kirby as a plumber.  I think hes lost his edge and isnt paying attention to things that he should be. Not my fault as the fixtures have been down there since he started.  I dont have a problem saying something is my fault when it is, but this is definitely not my fault.  I'll keep you posted on the fixes once they are decided.
