HOW many of us are employers

[MTiler]

Im a one woman band , I have been let down by others as their work wasnt up to scratch (mainly with mosaics). But I do know another female tiler I worked with in the past and would have her help me again.
Its my reputation on the line, simples.

I am out on my own too ... this is my 1st year been self-employed it has it good point and its bad points as well... I dont have to do repair work or some else snagging line ... like a regular trail of destruction what was happen before when working for big tiling companies in Glasgow.. Just finding work and keeping a steady run of it I am still struggling with.

Myself & my boy,

It's my mates son, had him out about 7/8 weeks now & he wants to learn.

He never realised tiling was as hard!!! Thought you just stuck them to the walls & floors..
He's on a steep learning curve.

Always worked on my own until the beginning of this year when I got fed up subbying and decided to go after some contracts myself. I now keep 1-2 tilers (subbies) busy most of the time and a couple of floor layers too on a regular basis. The hardest part is trying to keep on top of the paperwork and cash flow can be a nightmare when there's a couple of big jobs running at the same time!!
