Hi All,

[Ant]

Hi everyone

Great site, been readin for hours. I'm just looking to start out in tiling. I've Been a fire sprinkler fitter for 5 years (no quals. and half trained), out of work most of the time with it for past 2 yr. And apart from that when work does come, usually in London (220 miles) and with a young family would like to be at home more often.

After lots of thinking I'm now looking to jump ship to tiling. I like trade type jobs and am generally good with my hands, Tiling gets the edge for me in how you create a product to be admired, not boxed in a ceiling out of view.

I've got some idea of the routes i could take, and hoping for advice on courses, etc.

I better leave it at that for now since this is just my intro message.

Great stuff you all do here, glad i stumbled upon you's!:smilewinkgrin:

Cheers

Ant

Hey Ant,

The tags you enter yourself, perhaps more applicable to the main tiling related categories/threads. They then become links within your thread and others can click on them to see threads tagges with the same words (or topics).

A thread with a title "rubi wet cutter" might have tags, "rubi" and "cutter" for example.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Dan. I got it
