Good afternoon guys ( and girls )
After a few weeks of 'watching, looking, and laughing,' its time for me to join in.......

As a competant DIY'r, and getting paid off as an Engineer next month, am seriously considering going down the " 2 or 3 week course - labouring - learning " route. Under no illusions, and expecting tough times ahead, but am a 'born grafter' and will succeed..............

Look forward to chatting with you all, but unfortunately will be more of a taker than a giver :yikes:, for now anyway !

Thanks for the welcome Bubblecraft.

The answer is a " Heart V's Head " one....... My heart wants me to be 'Scotlands No.1 Tiler', but my head is telling me ' whatever puts a loaf on the table' :)

Am thinking of a 3 week course - 2 weeks tiling and 1 week 'Bathroom fitting ( venue still to be decided - inputs welcome :) ) Willing to do anything though.......

Well good luck mate in your new venture. Just mind that a 2 week course on tiling is the very stripped backed basics. Every job is completely different. Best to tag along with someone who has been tiling for many years & pick up as many hints & tips as you can. There's a lot to learn & if anything goes wrong in tiling, it can be very costly and dangerous.
