    Sometimes you just have to let a job go.

    It can be tempting to turn away PITA jobs but they can also lead to better things, I had an enquiry once from a lady who wanted somebody to do a few odd little jobs, I never really fancied it but decided to 'help her out' - turned out she owned several properties and I refurbed two of them, new...

    wash boy- expensive bucket on wheels or good value, time saving tool.

    Re: wash boy- expensive bucket on wheels or good value, time saving to It seems to be mostly mentioned for floor use - is it not so effective on walls?

    A super offer on the 'fein' multimaster look-a-like again in Aldi.

    Picked one up yesterday on the way home from work - quite impressed with the variety of attachments it came with. No more almost laying down to saw the bottoms off architraves for me :smilewinkgrin:

    Do you remember the first quotes you did?

    It's a bit of a vicious circle in my experience. Price yourself too high and work will initially be hard to come by, go in too cheap and you won't earn much - but at the same time you need to get a foot in the door and get a few jobs under your belt :yesnod: My advice would be to offer good...

    wet cutter for starting out

    I bought the Erbauer wet saw from Screwfix a while ago for £80, not caused me any problems so far, it's actually quite a big saw with a bed of about 750 x 450 and a 750w motor - it's also on sale at the moment for 65 quid. Erbauer ERB337TCB 750W Tile Saw 230V | Screwfix.com

    A super offer on the 'fein' multimaster look-a-like again in Aldi.

    I bought a 9'' grinder from Aldi complete with diamond blade for £29.99 - I'd lent mine out and couldn't remember who too :mad2: so thought this would bridge the gap. Well, it's been amazing and the blade is still like new after loads of work, it's just finished two slabbing jobs with LOADS of...

    SBR Primer on scratch coat?

    Must be a regional thing. In the South we used to get all Carlite type plasters in grey or pink, for a while now everything has been just pink, including Bonding - I've not seen grey Browning (hard wall) or Bonding in grey for a long time.

    Tiling Tips: Is there a weight limit when tiling a wall?

    Is this formula of 20kg a meter on skimmed walls using a sledge hammer to crack a nut? I can see the reasoning behind the post by ythan above in as much as the force would be downwards and not sideways. Has anybody ever seen tiles fall of the wall due to weight issues, tiles that have been...

    Bad walls after hacking off old tiles.

    Would you dot and dab the backer boards on solid walls with D&D adhesive or something like Tile Giant Pro Flexible?

    which cordless drill

    I recently bought this one from Screwfix as my pair of older Ni-Cad drills had more or less given up - comes with 2 x 1.5Ah Li0Ion batteries too, been very good so far and a decent price - read the reviews. Hitachi DV18DCL2 18V 1.5Ah Li-Ion Cordless Combi Drill | Screwfix.com

    The How did you start out Thread!

    I'm a builder who has started to do my own tiling if it's something not too complicated, always done bits and pieces like shower cubicles etc - but have started to do bigger stuff now like fully tiled bathrooms, this situation was sort of forced on me by an unreliable tiler but I'm secretly glad...

    Bathroom Chipboard floors - what do you do??

    Bit confused here - you have a bathroom floor that is boarded with plain floor boards, or even T&G - it's pretty solid but there will be at least some movement, so you decide to overlay with a cement board of some kind and laid on a bed of SPF to take up undulations and also enable you to...
