Phaa! ..but lets get one thing straight..I'm not a tiler..I can tile..but within my comfort zone..

Poor 2020Tiling is sorry he asked. Wonder did he ever get those kick boards off?

Chuckled today in work. Was on a site doing a kitchen floor and removed the kick boards to tile to the legs. The joiner in the same house didn't want to touch them, so I said no problem the kitchen fitter is on site today, will say to him. Asked the kitchen fitter 3 houses away and he said it wasn't his problem any more, to contact the kitchen company. Now if a kitchen fitter on the same job doesn't want to plane 10mm off a kick board with a £500 Festool planer what chance does a mere tiler stand with a rusty blunt handsaw? :lol:
