Finished Course - Go Solo or Shadow?

Andy well done you jammy git,can't see the plumbers and sparkys I work with doing that.
Claret you make a fair point its just that its hard to keep the work rolling in,on the Topps christmas doo the staff only invited out me and another tiler with them,I had already been out for a few drinks with him with my cousins boss who he does work for.He phoned me up today with a job he's got too much on and is now going to pass me all the jobs he can't do.
I couldn't quite believe it,told one of the lads at topps when I went in and they said they've told him my work is good and the tiler had told him he appreciated the fact that I hadn't tried to steal the work off him from my cousins boss.
I believe in treating people the way I'd like to be treated,seems like its paying off.:hurray:

I was looking to shadow a friend who's a tiler, he said I could and he'd be happy to help me out. He just got a job with a construction company out of town so it won't be happening now.

...So I'm just gonna throw myself in at the deep end, take the things I learned at NETT and take advice from the superb help on this site to get me through working on my own.

within about 6 months of tiling I reckon I'll have covered the most common aspects of tiling and after that things will get easier. Problems will come and go and I'll learn with every job, not to mention gaining speed on a job.

looking forward to it aswell
