have you got ufh in your house

[Time's Ran Out]

You know, tiling and stone work gets very boring, the brain tends to wander.
All that time spent in little rooms adhering bits of decorative stone and such to small areas is very tedious, but the brain can atrophy if unused.
It is good to have a broad knowledge as then you have lots to think about.
I have met many very fascinating tradespeople whom one would never peg as being fascinating until you spend some time with them.

I think about many things when I'am tiling and I like to assume that I have a fairly educated mind.
However I have never in 37years been bored with my occupation or felt that state of tedium when my concentration was not on the job at hand - prehaps I've been standing on UFH for too long!:lol:

Perhaps. :lol:
I do enjoy my line of work, and despite a wandering mind from time to time, I still keep focussed, it's like walking and chewing gum I'd imagine, or riding a bike and having a conversation.
I have found the tedium diminished since my son started working with me full time however, so the days of talking to the stones are done with. :lol:

Do the stones ever talk back??:lol::lol:

As a man i find tiling and breathing is enough for me, anything else would be multi tasking and we cant do that can we?

They have sworn me to secrecy. :lol:

 

[Scott]

They have sworn me to secrecy. :lol:

They told me i was the only one!

The stones, they lie all the time.

100% right!
For me the last 12 years have been the most enjoyable, seeing my sons development as a tiler and knowing he has a trade that potentially can bring him many rewards.
Fortunately he doesn't log on much as 'little John' so it will fall on deaf ears:lol:

Well thanks guys for your opinions, even though some were well over my head.

 

[curlycan]

I thought I only asked a simple question Alberta Stone has just blown me away. I really never new the stones talk to you when you lay perhaps we should charge more for laying talking stones.

Curly,I wouldn't get bent out of shape at Alberta's philosophical rantings,If the stones are talking back to him it's time for a white jacket,memI just take a radio with me so I have some background music while my client and tile get 100% of my attention,when the mind wanders,mistakes are made.

 

[chrisroe]

anyway you bunch of loons

ive got it in the kitchen as we didnt have room for a rad and its fantastic

Varme 200wt matt and its great its at 30 degrees at the moment a bit too hot but makes a big room nice and cosy

I highly recomment it and yes it will cost to run but i have got a few jobs off the back of putting it in my own house so its free sort of !

and with all that snow before xmas it was easy to drop your wet kid and boots and let the floor dry them all out

I did hear about the rf and its probably true it does fry your mind a bit but who will notice ?

They do say its better as its an even temperature rising across the whole room whereas a radiator cirulates the heat upward to the ceiling by convection rather than actual radiation. However once this has made its way round the room via the ceiling in a cirular motion it then come acroos the floor as a draft. The centre of the room between floor andceiling then has a higher ambient temperature than with a radiator.

That completes your lesson for today, ill be asking questions tomorrow
