marking your cuts

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

When we had to strip the walls back to the brick and then render, we could mark 1 cut and then run them all off in one go. But as we rendered our own walls, we knew they were spot on. Different game now.

From what you are saying I think you must be the best tiler on the planet if you tile every wall and you only have to put one mark on the tile and it fits perfectly you must be all that and a bag of chips and I take my hat of to you as I am a mere mortal and have to mark the tile at both ends. That is exactly what I mean

dean, your comments are sarcastic and tbh, not very funny!

i know how to use a spirit level (big deal) i do only single mark my tiles to be cut in to wall i have previously tiled (big deal also) this is not the way i have always done it but you improve as long as you are willing too!

Then re-read back through your arsey replies to members and see where we are coming from FFS.

thats what I'm talking about Phil, if you made the walls yourself then no hidden surprises. Thanks mate

I remember doing rendering for the tilers and everything had to be breadth, width depth and plumb in shower cubicles at a London underground maintenance area....who seems to give a diddly nowadays.

that's the way it should be Imo, makes for an easier life and a better tiled finish

 

[cam_low]

There's only one way to settle this

Big man ..:lol: .. grow up mate .. this is a tilers forum for real tilers and not virtual ones.. you will never get true walls on every job and if you cannot admit that then you are in the wrong trade.

I know the old strip, render, and tile, as we called it does not exist anymore. But we can do the same thing with dot & dab plasterboard or backer boards one way or another. There is always a way to get over any problem imo, that is why we are called tilers. We polish turds.

Dave, ill give you the benefit of the doubt and guess you have been on the bevy tonight as you clearly cant read! When did i say every wall was 100% plumb? As for virtual tilers....they don't get anymore virtual than you mate as you have more posts on here than anyone... That's a fact ;-)

 

[The D]

So how do you mark your cuts to the top of the wall and to the floor ??

phill, you seem to know where I'm coming from on this one. A little extra work getting your walls plumb takes the job to a new level Imo. Ed was telling me about the dot dab technique used by the likes of yourself and ed, very fascinating.

follow the profile or install new ceiling / screed floor. Cuts along the top to ceiling or floor don't concern me as much.

there you go again insulting other members!! How many have you fallen out with now due to your arrogance on this forum? Nuff said

 

[The D]

So let me get the straight you go to quote a job and the walls are flat but out of plumb. So you quote for making the walls plumb and possibly replacing the ceiling and floor and if they are not prepared to do this you will walk away from the job????

Never a true word spoken .. you spout poo and then cannot say why .. tell us poor tilers how you would sort out an L shaped( 2 sides exposed) shower with out of plumb walls and deal with the external profile of zero to what ever packing out you would do and have been taught on your special 5 days at NETT.

You can type what ever remarks back to members but when they do to you you say you are a victim ... how old are you ..?

that's a bit extreme. I price to do the job to a level i would be happy with and price accordingly, i submit a price and its either accepted or not. Installing a new ceiling would be optional extra as does not really affect my tiling, however if the floor requires a screed then id be more insistent.

Dave, its no secret i learned to tile on a 5 day course at NETT, I've never hidden this as its on my profile lol. Your up to your old tricks again attempting to discredit other members of daves world.... Er sorry... Tilers forum! Dave, why do you fall out with so many members on here??? Your making yourself look silly, no go rally the troops lol

 

[DHTiling]

Oh dear poor me ... cheers for pointing that out


But thanks for not answering my question , it now points out i was right about you ... chancer.. let's not disagree with charlie as he knows best..


we can only offer opinions and sometimes they are not yours..

 

[charlie1]

Your acting very silly Dave for a grown man, comon now behave!

 

[The D]

Charlie1 I have no wish to fall out with you over this but the fact for me at least is that most of the time I am asked to do the tiling and that is what I do some times I prep the walls and sometimes I have to get over other peoples prep work but even when I prep it myself I will very rarely make the wall plumb unless I am completely re boarding it.
