personally, I don't mind helping out a DIY'er on his own tiling project, and they find this forum very helpful for that, but don't take a-fence when you get the cold shoulder when were only trying to protect our lively hoods, just lately I have become very picky who I give advice to..

my thoughts exactly! Why do we share all our secrets with the opposition? Most of my best secrets where given to me as a favour so there not really mine to give to someone else.

This is a forum that helps people with tiling projects, if it isn't then I am missing something. If the writer intends to do it himself after all the advice given then that is what he should get.Otherwise what is the point of the forum?

The point of TTF is for "tilers" to share there methods on how they do things. Going by the questions JJ is asking, he is clearly not anywhere near being a tiler and to be taking on this job at a paying customers expense could be both damaging for the customer and JJ! I will give out advice all day long to someone who is adamant at taking on there own job in there own house with a view to getting a good DIY result but I will never give out any advice to my opposition and I would advise every other tiler to do the same.
