Hi i'm Toby, used to post on here years ago in my darker days as a newbie 'course trained tiler' and decided to come back on and see whats happened to all the old names.... good to see there are loads of you still on here, some may even remember me.
Anyway Holy S!!!, i just spent the last half hour (whilst waiting for my primer to dry!!) reading the original thread and was really enjoying the debate between busy tilers and not busy tilers and time served tilers vs course trained tilers that i decided to make a brew, sod the tiling off for an hour or so and settle down to a good read about how great her new pro tiler was. Maybe i'm being a bit harsh but why the hell did she not check this guy out properly rather than relying on her 'friends ex' who just so happened to be available the next week and was happy to do it at mates rates before she went ahead with him?
I have had quiet periods myself before and don't think being quiet means you are no good at tiling by any stretch, but given the circumstances of her specific situation i thought she would have questioned this guy on every single aspect of his business including why he was available so quickly as well as going round to previous customers houses to view his work..... How very frustrating people can be, after all the advice from you lot on here and she still didn't listen... Unbelievable lol
I do have sympathy for her but if i'm honest it aint very much.
What a shame.
