Hi

just joined the site ( twice actually the last membership disappeared in the ether). It was recommended by Darren at NETT. Great course I did the initial and natural stone. I have havd a small bathroom fitting company running for two years this week. I initially did the tiling but I could see that I needed a tiler to finish our work to speed up the projects and leave a professional finish. I was too slow.
I had a couple of bad experiences with work I farmed out, where the work was very sub-standard or not cleaned up costing me time and money to finish their mess!
Darren and Tracey's course has had immediate impact where I have just completed a wet room in my own home ( Aquadec and Devimat kit ) , a vertical brickwork pattern with an integral vertical mosaic pattern that had to flow from one wall across the floor and up into a shower cubicle. Then there was a parallel mosaic that came up the back of a bath. This was for a graphic designer who was millimetre perfect. The latest one was a 6"x3" white brickwork effect on a wall with black granite on the floor. This was a piece of p*ss to mark out using Darren's techniques and the customer loved the chat about sealing the granite. The photos will follow once the woodwork is painted. I will be using this one on business cards as I put in some concealed taps and a spout to feed a Villeroy and Boch stand alone basin - Tis is a utility room!!!!

Anyway, the forum is great, the info is top notch and it's improved my profits!

Pete
