    First all night job for about 20 years

    Can I say for those who do it regularly i can understand why. No trafffic, you get more done. Downside: By 4am I was completely shattered and realised why the last time was so long ago, doing the undergrounds with "zin zag" German tiles in sand and cement. Could get used to it though again as...

    New Years Resolutions

    What have we all decided to do then, quit smoking? Earn more money? Train in another trade? Me, I'm hoping lots of new contacts and work are going to come from putting some displays in a showroom, this was meant to happen 12 months ago but, now looks like its finally going ahead :thumbsup:

    Anyone else worked new years day?

    Got a call yesterday for a hallway and popped down to see it. Started tiling it today as I can't say no and my next job doesn't start till the end of the week. Only problem was CTD were shut yesterday and today so had to pay TileGiant prices for Mapei gear - so decent profit margin on materials...

    2000 a year for 3 years = 6000

    Which averages about 5 posts a day. Not all have been interesting, not all have been controversial, not all have been understood. But I've enjoyed posting and I've enjoyed the involvement in this great Tilers Forum. So to pre-empt any stalkers - 'thank you for the privilege of posting this my...

    100 / 150 years old tiles.

    If anyone has stock or can suggest where we might source some dark chocolate and buff Victorian floor tiles, for a restoration job. Ideal size 109mmx109mm but 151mmx151mm could be cut down to suit. Thanks in advance, Phil.:thumbsup:

    Hi, I'm a retired electrician and plumber and the bathroom needs tiling - I did some tiling a long time ago, but it all seems more complicated these days - unfortunately, I'm on a tight budget and will have to do it myself, so I'm going through the forum for information. Hopefully, all my...
