Sometimes it is just down to the pure traffic volumes and not just distance....

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 .

This is in reply to the post about power vibro floors. Every penny was earned, no one gave us a thing. Damned hard work, done by damn hard men, respect to them all.

well how hard you work depends on many things how old you are when you started could the work dry up in a mowmenet so make hay while the sun shines .do you only need to pay the bills and go on hoilday once a year and that enough for you .do you have a drive that makes you want more out of life .
all these things make up how hard you work .well i always made hay while the sun shines so do all the tilers i know .to give you a clue of how we worked all work on price on site no less than 12 hours a day if we did not earn a days wages in 5 hours the rest bouns. you could not work with us if you could not keep up . so doing hotels two rooms a day was standard and no courners cut .to give you a clue we would work at a hotel untill 6 pm go and have some dinner then go to a shop fitt work untill 2am then go home sleep then be on site at the hotel at 8am to do it again .and every now and again work 48 hours none stop so its your choice work hard play hard .work easy want less
