We went to a job today 6 sq meters 10 x10’s kitchen splash back unloaded the van and we had no wet cutter with it being 19 miles each way to go get it we decided to become best mates with the nippers, luckily there was only 4 plug sockets to cut round.. have you ever forgotten any thing?



:mad2:
 
I once discovered that I'd left my tile cutter at home, after traveling 1.5h to a job :mad2:

Didn't want to go back as the job was only a small splashback, so I had to do all cuts with an angle grinder :mad2:
 
im not quite out there as a tiler but nearly every plastering job ive been to ive forgotten my sarnies! not that i have time to eat them tho. guess i just have my mind on having all the tools i need and more loaded into the van before i set off, tho i did forget my drill one day which i needed to mix up my plaster as i forgot my mixing stick aswell
 
My brain , I often leave it at home then wonder where I am. Iv'e got my 500th post, YES.

Congrats on the 500th post.

Regarding missplacing ones brain... I seem to missplace my brain every morning between 6 and 9 (coffe break), and every afternoon between 3 and 4. If I work beyond 4, I almost always recover my brain...

I wonder where it hides during those 4 hours though, hehe. Usually try to not do anything complicated then, like prepping substrates, grouting, siliconing or something else which doesn't require me to think :grin: If I make misstakes, it's always at those times.
 
My transport is my Car. So i am use to taking all the tools off regularly and put them in the garage.
I was tiling my mates kitchen floor on a Saturday morning and yeah you guessed....forgot the lot !!!:mad2:
When i arrived at his house (20 miles away) all i could was set out with a tape and pencil.
Returned the following day and sorted it (with tools)
 
last monday morning i forgot my assistant. Went back for him an hour later and he was still stood there reading the paper.:stupid:
 
Odds and sods really.

Levels, spacers, Silicon.... though I once forgot the tile cutter when I got the the customers house, drove home, opened the shed to get the cutter out, and it wasn't there anywhere, looked in the boot of the car again and there it was all the time, so back to the job :lol:
