My helper this week

[faithhealer]

was my 17 yr old, at first I thought a chocolate fire guard might be more help but proved me wrong. Grouted a 30 mtr floor for me, pretty good too. Guess what colour for his first job, yup Black, saved my hands anyway lol

My 18 year old nephew came to work with us last week. Put in one day's work and realized that he "has a lot of things to do this summer before school starts in the fall".:lol:

You're lucky....Early last year when one of mine (17) helped me screwing down some ply. he just couldn't get the hang of it no matter how much time I spent showing him. He's in the army now....can't use a screw gun but they give him a machine gun :lol:

Reminds me when i first started , balling tiles all day , grouting , mixing screed/adhesive and going for the chips, " eeeeeeh we had it tough in our day"
