[tungsten tip]

ask phil hobson how many hours you spend tiling an aldi supermarket floor ,150 mtrs per day ,screed ,tile & vibrate. friday was like a day off only 600 mtrs of grouting to do .good money but after a few of them you change shape .

Does anybody else work stupid hours or is it just me? I left for work this morning at about 7.45am as Im only working round the corner, I have just got in... Its 10.40pm. Thats a 14 hour day and the rest of the week looks to be much the same :dizzy2:.

I've done silly hours in the past and people thought I was mad. I probably was? But then I went home and ate and got to bed. I don't remember going home and logging on to Tilers Forum!!! :lol:

No your not the only one! I leave home at 5am every day and don't get home till between 7 & 8pm most days. Somtimes later. See theres lots of us that must be mad, but at least were working.:incazzato:

Yes, grab the opportunity and work hard when it's there, try not to panic when it's not, that's my philosophy.

Ah well I glad Its not just me. Im not complaining, very happy to be this busy. Wev all been in the other boat and that is even less fun. How old am I? Well I feel about 402 at the moment but Iv got home just after 7 tonight cuz I had to price a job up, so only a 12 hour day today. Iv been self employed for 7 years... Why do you ask? Im going to drink some whiskey now :smilewinkgrin:
