personally myself i just went for it dont kknow your circumstances but i had no outgoings ie rent, lecky etc bills just beer money hope all works out well for you

i have a lot of outgoings so i need to keep working

 

[CLAYS TILES]

full time lorry driver (wanting out) & committing full time to do tiling!
i do tiling @ weekends till then, its awkward going out for quotes as i can never guarrantee getting back in time due to motorway delays etc!:furious3:

ita a pain in the arse tiling part time from 3pm onwards like i do now as i can only put 4 hours a day in and i feel im in the way all the time. ive had jobs where ive said it will take me 3 days and its ended up taking nearly a week because of my other commitments.
Hopefully when i start my new job late afternoons i can get my tilling of to a good start and get lots of work coming in regularly and taking 3 days to do a 3 day job

Thats good going m8,is that including the floor?If all the walls are sound then try and tile the bathroom in one day if u can and then grout up and do the floor the second day.I know some tilers grout walls at night that they tiled in the day but few admit to it.I did a bathroom today just got window to go round in morning and shower wall to tile so i will be back on Saturday grouting and fixing floor.

Nah that was just walls m8.Was taking me 5 days before cause i was bricking maself when I 1st started out.

if u need to keep money coming in to live then thats understandable,but bear in mind when your pricing up that some of us are paying tax and insurance when were pricing up.but ive been in your position myself and i wish you the best of luck mate.
