Tough days - must be frustrating losing out work on relatively new competition. Hang onto the tools, you'll still get bits of tiling which you can fit round your new job for a few extra pennies.
PLEASE don't sell your tools - it's a tough time at the minute for most, never mind new starters, but where there is famine, a feast generally follows - so you do what you've got to to put food on the table but in the knowledge that the sun will shine again some day and you'll be prepared to get a tan:lol:
All the best mate , if its any consolation the undercutting is everywhere and its good tilers like yourself that can suffer, good luck whatever you do..
all the best mags!
it's a shame you have to give up something you enjoy dearly but hopefully things will pick up and one day you can get back into the tiling!
chin up
Sorry to hear that mags, all the best with your new job, deffo keep your tools and keep your hand in part time until things get back to normal. Things are picking up, around my area at least.
Sorry to hear the news Ken maybe you can become a parttime fireman sounds like john needs one right now, anyway keep your tools, work part time, good luck with whatever you decide mate............Alby
