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.
 
me names ash.. I understand mate and I realise ive rushed into this thinkin about the Wonga lol.... im just gonna take it slow now and see where it goes I will stick with the one lad who thought it be a good idea to help me and I cant thank him enough but im also gonna start looking into some sort of course and real training I will be staying on this site as I feel ive already learned a few things just reading through old posts! and theres a few thousand to go through lol sound
 
yes aligauge im begginin to see ive rushed it and ive just been talkin with the missus that its gonna take a lot longer and as I said I wanna be a real pro at it and I know its not gonna be as easy as planned but now ive started im not gonna look back thanks guys il speak with you soon
 
wouldn't mind washin ur van if you taught me how to tile I gotta say your gallery is nothing short of brilliant...
 
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.
