Disaster
Well, 2018 has got off to a cracking start. This is the end of my short stud wall....the one that they pushed out of whack and the hive mind has helped me put straight.

Not too bad. Now all the effing * had to do was align the tiles on the opposite wall with the above photo.
Well, I've been wasting my time faffing about with getting that wall vertical. I needn't have bothered because the pillock has exceeded all expectations this time and tomorrow when I know he'll have his mobile with him, I'm going to rip him a new one as I am well and truly screwed and can see no way out other than ripping out the whole * lot. Either that or drive up to where he's working with a bit of CLS in my hand and...well, you get the picture.
This is what the useless, pointless lump of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen has done. Let's put the bottom of the spirit level at the tray - which is our reference point as it has a slot into which the glass fits.

Oh look....the ends of the tile are not in a vertical line. Wonder what it looks like further on up ?

That's about 15mm out of vertical and we've still got a way to go to the top of the frame.
So there we have it. I can't see any solution that isn't going to look *. I can remove those mouldings on the non-vertical and then cut teensy weensy pieces of triangular tile to the ends of the existing ones, gradually getting wider as we go on up. Then redrill and fit the frame vertically. Then I will have the holes that I've already drilled ...yeah, yeah..I know should have checked first. So what's a bit of grey silicon between friends.
Or slant the other one backwards in which case I'll see a triangle which will look rubbish
