You won't even need to remove sanitary wear as the guys a plumber he can whip them out for you.......does that just sound wrong?
 
paul is this your first job or have you done a lot and just started self employment ? if you *** the job it might knock your confidence and take you a lot longer than you first thought but if your confident just do it your gonna get a job like this someday anyway so why not now
 
Paul mate do you really think this is above you?
As long as your carefull read the thread i posted for you and just take care and work clean you should be fine. I know you are a bit cautious but you have bought your van and done everything right so far and to have to pass on your first job seems such a shame, especially as it will pay very nicely too.
When does the guy want the work done, can you not put it back until you do the natural stone course? Did you train with NETT? If so can Darren not do anything to maybe help with the training and changing dates possibly?

I don't really think it is above me as generally when i do things i do them very very well (blowing my own trumpet here lol) having said that we all make mistakes and i think mistakes are more likely to be made while still in the learning phase, there is just something telling me to walk before i can run sort of speak as the costs involved with regards to the tiles is pretty high.

The guy wants it done ASAP, or so he says, i'm supposed to be viewing the job this Tuesday.

Yes i did my training at NETT, but i have to say Darren is a good judge of character as while i was on the the course he told me i worry too much, How True.

The funny thing is that if i did the job and come out smelling of roses i would be on cloud nine and what a confidence boost that would be, i have the weekend at least to think it over so will let you know my decision, Thanks for the advice and support.😕:confused_smile:

I didn't mean any offense by my comment (just trying to syche you up really).
I know exactly were your coming from on wanting to do a good job and the cost involved if anything goes wrong. Plus this guy could be a nightmare for you if it did go pear shaped as no doubt your name would be mud around his area and that may affect your rep before you get going.
If it is just a case of your butt putting :wink_smile: on your first job then regardless of what it is your always going to feel that, but obviously the costs and risks could be greatly reduced.
Drop Daz a PM and have a chat with him. If you still feel uncertain I'd say walk away as it will just be on your mind and your confidence will drop and may affect the outcome.

Good luck pal, whichever way it goes.
 
Dev, honestly 100% no offence taken i really can't see how you think i would be offended, everyone who has posted including yourself as given excellent advice and support which is something i greatly appreciate,
all in all i think fate may play a hand in this as there is no way i'm tiling over the tiles that are already fixed to the wall so as we all know even if the tiles were removed tomorrow and he needed it re plastering there is going to be a 4 week wait anyway which hopefully would give me more time to gain that exta little bit knowledge and confidence, will definately keep you informed on whats happening, Thank Again Paul.:icon14:
 
PAUL you know this is what you have been waiting for,as DEVONR says you have done the van bit and the rest of it,now its showtime,just take your time and take all the advice from the lads and you will do a great job because you know you have had the best of training and you can always nip home and come on here if you get stuck.On the otherside of the coin, THERE IS NO OTHERSIDE M8 GO FOR IT BUD. BRI:happy:
 
Follow your gut instinct mate you absolutely can't go wrong if you follow your gut.........
