anybody wanting a free hand???

[Mr T]

it doesn't seem to be going well with the guy I work with atm don't wanna knock the guy so wont go into detail but seem like I could learn a lot more from someone more experienced so if anyones interested all I want is a lift there n back and then you've got a free worker all day thanks.

 

[cam_low]

I was in a similar position to you many years ago. I ended up with a cowboy. However I was lucky to find a really good stone tiler. Do I feel for you mate, best thing you can do is hit the local rags and send out cv with covering letter. I don't know if there are any Tilers in your area on here. Good luck

 

[Mr T]

yeh mate looks like I getting the yellow pages out again tmoz lol called at least 30 tilers last time only 1 wanted to know that's why I cant knock him cuz hes sound

 

[cam_low]

Calling is no good mate you need to put pen to paper, anyone that disturbs me at work unless I'm washing grout down will be forgotten about in ten mins. Unless its swmbo or me mam

 

[Mr T]

If ya put it that way mate I suppose your rite lol

 

[cam_low]

Remember to spell check before you send them off, right 😉

Don't run before you can walk.....

 

[Mr T]

mate im really not trust me I know for a fact im more than capable of at least doing a decent spread.. and I havnt held a trowel

 

[Alan.P]

'Mate' with all due respect, your posts are getting worse, how the hell do you know you can do a better spread if you've never held a trowel, and your doing a job soon? give it up, who were you on here before you got banned ?

 

[Mr T]

ay? your barking up the wrong tree there mate lol I know I can spread because I done some tiling at home and it turned out sound if you wanna ban me that's fine ive never been on here before lol u crazy fool!

 

[Alan.P]

'Mate' I can't ban you, I'm a forum user, simple's, and the rest ............ well ICBA to keep tripping you up, have a great life /s

 

[Mr T]

lol I know how a forum works and trust me I wouldn't be so sad to be on here to get on anyones nerves... im here to learn about tiling why u think ive been posting so much? have I been abusing anyone? and im sure a mod will be able to see that my ip address has never been on this site a single day before I signed up with this profile

Tilers that take on apprentices are looking for lads that will be polite to their customers, do as they are asked, when they are asked and exactly how they asked. Nobody is interested in lads that think they know much more than they actually do.

To put it bluntly having read your posts over the last week my initial thoughts were give this guy a chance he's just a little wet behind the ears but keen, now I just think you'd be a royal pain in the arse to have around.

remember anybody looking to take you on via this forum wouldn't be your mate, they would be your boss. I'd be a bit more careful at what you write in here if you're serious about this game.


not trying to be offensive to you at all, just saying it as I see it.

 

[Mr T]

your perception of me is missjudged more than likely how im making myself out to be by this post... I really don't think I know more than I actually do I just want to learn and get more hands on than I actually am... im not looking for a mate im looking for someone to teach me and believe me ive been more help to the tiler than I have been useless... but hes not much older and I feel someone with lets say 20 years experience would suite me more... but this is my last post on this site il just read the posts I cba with having people tell me im some imposter haha sound mate il post up some pics of my own jobs when ive found my way

 

[White Room]

Mr Tiler,

You have taken guys by storm with the amount of questions you have asked, many have asked and disappeared but you have remained and seem quite persistant in what you want to do which is your choice.

Ask if you need to but give some history of the work you have done so people can evaluate what background and experiance you have so far in any trades that would help them to consider any employment.

You don't need to stop posting mate, just read the info on here. If you were closer to me I would take you on some jobs, and give you an insight into the real world of tiling, I hope you are genuine and not taking the mick. If you really want to learn how to be a tiler take the TF members advice, you have been given some really good tips from some of the best pro fixers in the UK. Don't ignore it. All the best, Phil.

 

[Mr T]

I understand im jumping the gun aint I im just keen lol this sites really good and will come in handy in the future as I know some of you guys are real pros minus alan.p (joke) and il be using it when I gain a bit more experience

 

[Mr T]

I am genuine mate and when im established in a year or so il come on and post and ad lol

 

[White Room]

I love your enthusiasm mate and no one can take that away from you.....

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Mr T, keep reading this forum, you will learn from the best tilers around, research the old threads, you will have all your questions answered. I have been tiling a long time and I still learn from this forum, (now and then).
