You're more than welcome on this forum mate and you will learn a lot, some people just seem to have got the impression that you aren't serious about becoming a pro tiler. Some of your questions are about very basic things, that's not a bad thing but, you need to know the basics before you even consider charging for your services. A course coupled with some time spent with a time served tiler is the ideal scenario and what you should be aiming for. I like your enthusiasm and respect you for that but, enthusiasm alone is not going to make you a good tiler. By the way, what is your name? If we know who you are we can guide you through the learning process and get to know you.

Mr Tiler please trust me Im not trying to put you down. I love the fact that you're enthusiastic. It's great that you know what you want to do and are determined to get there. But much like the work you will do in the future in peoples homes, take your time. Rushing anything is how mistakes are made. Bit over looking something, not thinking or not knowing.
You'll get there and how good you are when you get there will be determined by not only your attitude to the job but the process and steps you take. You will not learn it over night and you won't learn by theory alone, it's a hands on job which is why i think the best thing for you to do is look at some kind of course. Which in your current employment situation and age you can get funded.

Like your enthusiasm Mr Tiler, take it slow and read up as much as you can. Ask your local college about doing an NVQ as you should still be young enough to get it free.

Most of the time they may as well pay a bit more and do it right, you can usually see a patch a mile off unless you have spent ages on it, sanding ect, by which point you may as well do the whole darn thing

 

[Mr T]

yeh its done now I didn't bother trying to skim it ive just sanded it and given it a couple of coats of emultion.... its visible but its sold and that's the main thing.... looks better than it was that's all im botherd about lol

 

[AliGage]

[Mr T]
