Hate's

[Dan]

I used to hate the cutting in the cold on the wet cutter outside. Just those few damn jobs where there are limited cutting location choices, and the few all seem to come when it's -7 degrees!

Love it in the summer though totty totty totty, so maybe it's a nice balance overall lol.

Oh, and tiling over dodgy boxing in. I'd prefer to box-in myself in all cases. Hate it when somebody else has done it.

Trying to get floor joints lined up with wall joints all the way around the room. Now this isn't possible unless the whole room is square, but you tend to be able to modify a few tiles to get it near to perfect, it's just the working out which areas to select to have to 4mm smaller tiles or the 1mm wider grout goints or whatever. Hate them jobs. Have only done it for close family. Look spot-on when you manage it though.

Windows is up at the top of my list especially when its 9cm high and your working with 10cm tiles! Shaving a fraction of porcelain tile off each time gets on my goat especially when the sill is p****d.

Secondly is siliconing white against black if you don't get it right or the wall was really bad pre tiles it'll show up real bad.

Mr Smith out with his spirit level on his floor whilst your on your hands and knees next to him trying to get tiles down.

And I really have been in this situation.

HATE IT!!

Another one -

Watchers !!!
Those bloody customers who hang around and watch what you are doing for hours on end - usually try and chat to you as well.
Usually I put up with it. Lost my rag only once as the guy kept tring to tell me how to do my job. Threatened to pack up & go home unless he left me alone - he disappeared sharpish.

I hate watchers! You feel not trusted.

I also had a customer who never wanted us walking through her house and she lived in a row of terrace's. She made us back the van down the alley and go through the back door with the tools and tiles. Had to walk for ages with tools when we couldn't be bothered spend the 50 miutes getting the van near the back gate.

***** needs shooting!

I had an asian guy who couldn't speak english watch me for the whole job of laying porcelain tiles to a hallway and conservatory.

Never said a word for 3.5 days, but watched my every move. Even followed me out to the wet cutter etc.

3 guesses why?
