Feeling blue.

I think we all have the same feast and famine problems, luckily i have a few regulars who are gradually doing up their properties and are within reason prepared to wait for when I can fit them in.

Finally after 5 years of nagging have blocked of most of June to do a complete make over of my own kitchen, utility and hall - what's the betting once I get started the calls will come rolling in!

3k is brilliant. Grace's Dad hit the nail on the head. The quiet times are the times when you do your books. Work on your estimates etc. Clean out the van. Visit the tile shops further a field. The weather is awful, so would you rather be indoors or outside trying to wet cut a tile in the rain? Saying that, I'm off for a drive to visit some tile shops as I have not had a job for a month !!! Good luck.

Spoon, how do you find doing the tiling as well as holding down another job albeit part time? i'll be doing the same shortly (full time), and was wondering if you had any problems fitting in jobs?
Cheers

May was my best month yet, just over 3k and the rest of this week off, but next month is looking a little thin, I am still in the middle of tasking a customer to court and just had a call from a customer that has decided he is unhappy with a small mosaic splash back I finished off as his mate had cut his finger off halfway through the job, he had set it out wrong leaving 4mm cuts and this was with a natural stone mosaic, even my smallest cutter just ate them up...... Quick cheer me up before I search the job pages. It just seems like it's all hassle at the minute but only a few days ago I was laughing all the way to the bank.

You'll always have the idiots.
You're heading the right way. Keep going.
