Welcome to the forum Dave,
A tiler after a 1 week course???

 

[Andy Allen]

Why you tiling as living if you dont feel capable. .?

 

[Qwerty]

Welcome. Walk before you can run. All the best

 

[davybhoy]

Haha thats what they expect Stef.Crazy but hey ho

 

[davybhoy]

Its not a living.I'm a painter by trade and I never said I wasnt capable

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Love it

 

[Andy Allen]

Ahh painter. ..that explains it then. .lol

 

[davybhoy]

What mate.Just lookin for some advice and help.Not to much to ask really is it?

 

[nybor62]

many years ago before i was permitted to go on site , i had to tile a mock up bathroom in the company's warehouse .
and was assessed as to weather i was up to scratch , i passed , thank god

 

[davybhoy]

Glad it went well mate.They asked me to go on a course and now expect me to do a bathroom on my own.Setting out and speed r my downfalls at the minute but hopefully it will come for me

i too have been put under a lot of pressure but i found it actually helped me progress a lot faster than standing there watching all day, good luck mate

My advice would be to work with another tiler for a bit and maybe you will learn how to set out properly and tricks of the trade to help build up you speed instead of trying to run before you can walk. ...hope this helps.

Andy i wasnt been smart.I've told them that I would benefit from workin with a tiler but they just dont listen.1wks introductory course and I should know it is what they think.Ah well.Thanks for advice and hopefully you and other tilers can guide me along the way.Cheers

You have no chance mate, most tilers on here think they are the floyd mayweathers of the tiling world , and wouldnt pee on you if you were on fire [emoji33]
You have more chance being helped by a isis terrorist in syria if you aint a 'proper tiler'

 

[davybhoy]

Haha how are u to learn if u dont ask mate.Not bothered if people want to be rude

 

[prceramics]

its only pressure if you let it be , you finish when you finish

 

[Andy Allen]

[davybhoy]

its only pressure if you let it be , you finish when you finish

[prceramics]

Nope you just work at the pace that you can do a job you can be proud of

 

[davybhoy]
