You do stuff that I wouldn't even contemplate doing Gisela, don't de-value your abilities...

Do you have the "pre-mixed grout" over in the UK? It's sold at the DIY centers. It is also a load of crap.:mad2:

You're a Sweetie, Russell, thank you, but everytime I go into that bathroom I see yet another tiny bit that could do with cleaning up or smoothing off just a bit more, and another bit, and another bit:incazzato:....and so it goes. Back to it right now...:smilewinkgrin:

We all do that Gisela, no job is perfect and you home in straight away on any imperfection....stop beating yourself up...

agreed! if you keep staring at it you will keep finding inmperfections.

every time you think your work isnt good enough - just watch the above video :lol:

Gisela,


As usual, Grumpy is "spot on" (did I use that correctly? :smilewinkgrin ..... all of us who care about our work continue to find little things to pick on...it just goes with the job.

I used to have a tag line on a tile forum that said some thing like this: "searching for the elusive perfect tile installation, and when I do it I will retire". By this of course I mean if I ever do ONE, I might as well quit because it's all down-hill from there. :smilewinkgrin:

Consider how nice your work looks, and then remember that you are fairly new to this trade. I think you're "gettin' it", as we say over here.

Be your own worst critic, then improve

Captain Slow has given me permission to add his photos to a video for You Tube, if you have not seen his photos, look on Hall of Shame, absolutely the worst ever bit of tiling I have seen in my life !!

 

[mikethetile]

seen it all before , nothing surprises me anymore

i like to think that was a diy job but unfortunatly ive seen so called tilers do much the same

 

[DHTiling]

Gisela......It is when you do NOT care about the finished look , then you need to worry..


I have seen your photo's and you have created something that I couldn't do...

So be PROUD that is a well smart job and needs a lot of credit....trust me a very good job..
