How you getting on now though mate....is the work starting to come in for you a bit more now feller?

TJ

ps What regiment was you in?
 
😡 Ive been self employed for only 2months, getting 1 job every 10 days and the money ive made on them jobs go on more tools which ive realised i need, YES im a new tiler but a passionate one. YES my redundancy money is dissapearing at a rapid rate. Ive met tilers who have been in the trade for years and for christ sake halve of there methods are from the stone age, I went to an opening of a new tile shop where the local tilers were invited and the atmosphere was ****ing terrible, I stood back as they slagged of each other! wheres the comradeship? I was in the army for twelve years and have never known owt like what ive witnessed. As for all you experienced tilers i have a lot of respect for you but you werent born with a with a trowel sticking out of your arse, you started somewhere too! Anyway got myself booked on a plastering course as my strike rate is only 50% when pricing up a job to getting it. Just remember not all new tilers are thick as pig ****, my work has been spot on and twice ive recieved more than i quoted.


its good to get tips is'nt it :wink_smile:
 
certain old school tilers are so stuck in their ways,and refuse to embrace new ideas.Lets just laugh at them as they soak their tiles in the bath overnight and fix with sand and cement :wink_smile:
 
alright just left the army after 15 years know hat you mean about the tools did my first job today and he recommended me to a mate who wants about 35 square meters done so also did a short plastering course and plumbing if you want any feed back on them just ask
 
feedback would be good mate...on both courses....am thinking of doing them myself.

what reg was you in?

cheers

You hit the nail on the head i am struggling to make it self employed. I've been in the game for 6 months but it only take time and hard work. But recently did a job for 32 sq mtr bathroom in travatine then they decided they were having slate in the kitchen and dining room. With his word of mouth it has landed me 3 more jobs all complete i have now got work till August. I have the added worry of being a single dad of 2 sons aswell.
but just keep your head up and keep your spirits up it will come you'll see
