Hi guys,

I have just completed my 2 week course at Tiler Training School in Edinburgh, Cannot speak highly enough of the place.

A month or two ago, I did my own bathroom too get a feel of tiling and how to lay out etc.

I enjoyed it very much, though a lot of lessons were learned.

1. Screw batons in, never nail them! (they move!!)
2. Never let your mother choose a mosiac border, where the tiles are thicker than the wall tiles!!
3. Be patient.

Now Iam sure when I put these pictures up, which arent the greatest there are a few things you will notice, like the sink not being centred(another wee mistake).

But all in all they are still standing up the now, so a thumbs up from me :lol:.

I feel good after my course, but I understand I really need to build up experience, doing jobs for family, friends etc before I will have the confidence to go out myself.

Plese feel free to comment!!

Good or Bad!! :lol:
