do you ever want to scream

clerk of works used to check all site work so when you got there it was right then check what you do to the mm now its the site forman who may have been a labour a few weeks earler. our a wood bucher who could not make it on price but talked the talk .

when learning my trade most of the companies we worked for had clerk of the works, one of them i will always remember was 2mm phil and if it wasnt right you would be doing it again, no matter what costings were involved

Not sure why I should worry about other peoples tiles cracking as no matter what you say Joe Public will never listen!
If they spend 100's of pounds / metre for tiles they'll pay for them to be fixed properly, but if they spend £25/ metre for tiles they won't pay £25 for fixing plus all the adhesives, Ditra, sealers etc.
My 6 inch white tiling is ok at £35/ metre but since they cost £6.50/ metre to buy, I don't get many requests.
We all want the work, but it takes a strength of character to walk away or a good order book.

I think the future looks ok. There will always be people who will want to fit their own. But with the fashion leading to larger format tiles and the very large format that Ray is selling, this will make the trade more valuable.
