What you mean as in doing something in a different industry? Or adding another dimension tou your exsisting business???

I thought you already did this with the thermal liners for pools?

How about your beating on the shoots ,or dog training, or even you own line in country clothing Doug :yikes::lol:

I wouldn't say subsidise my income, but I do have ways of putting food on the table that doesn't involve tiling, ie hunting and fishing.

Hey [MENTION=27051]John Benton[/MENTION], no that wasn't me at Cleckheaton. I haven't done 1 for a few months now.
I need to have a word with the Mrs, she's in charge of marketing/promotions/booking... everything really!

If I needed a second income I would have packed in tiling 39 years ago!
If I'd wanted a second income I'd have packed in tiling 39 years ago!
If I had time for a second income I'd pack in tiling today!
This is the only occupation/hobby I have and I love it!

Hobby John?? i sometimes think its like that too mate haha, I give myself extra work for no extra money sometimes so it must be a hobby, like the one im on the now, i see the customer has baught a plastic bath pannel but i know once mym cvreation is finished, i cant bear to see them sticking a naff bath plastic bath panel on to it... i just cant bear it!! so i tells customer, i have spare plywood in the van, get 2 boxes of tiles and i will tile it at no extra cost... its only after i say these things that i realise what ive done... anyway, will look nicer!!...

Sorry for post highjack....

Used to work in IT for first income and tiling was seccond.
Im geared up to tile, couldnt do anything else as i sleep tiling and think about it all the time, would be propper gutted if ever had to give it up! :-(
