Well done on your first job jeffy. It certainly gives you a buzz when folks thank you for a good job. I re-did a job recently as the previous tiler messed it up. The folks were so over the moon, I got a really nice tip.

Snag is, while the rest of the country is in a housing slump, every Californian that can afford it - and a few that can't - is building a house on the Oregon coast. Result - very few tradesmen and no tilers, so if I want to move in this year it's a DIY job and I'll be a frequent visitor to this site. It's already solved one problem - a flat wetroom floor excepting a 3x3 foot hole around the drain.
Well, I won't be first on-the-job-trainee on this project, and I'd have to try really hard to be the worst. :sad_smile:

P.S. If any of you chaps want to help fill the void, the language barrier's not too bad, some of the beer is drinkable, but bring yer own Marmite!
