Thinkng of calling it a day

[CLAYS TILES]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Will everyone stop being so nice.

Your all making me think im doing the wrong thing.

Finished what i thought would be my last ever job today. Hated everything about it and everything went wrong. So at the end of the day took a step back and thought actually ive done a good job. got an extra £100 tip. and i felt good. but the only thing ive felt s**t all week.

Maybe ive been on my period or something but iam stll in a hard predicament about doing both jobs

:mad2: :mad2:

Got an idea. there must be 100's of members in here now. Everyone in the forum set up a direct debit for £1 a weekto my bank accont then ill have enough money coming in to quid my day job and do tiling full time

What do you think :joker:

£100 TIP!!:huh2: DO THEY NEED ANYMORE WORK???:lol:

Hey we could do a forum pyramid that way every member will be quids in at some point :hurray: :lol:

Tys don't you dare go anywhere we'd all miss you too much!
I've signed on with a driving agency today as am in the same boat as you. Not the best paid but I can work it around my tiling - so when I haven't got any tiling I can drive (class 2) and when I have work I just tell them I'm not available so its ideal from that aspect.

Don't sell ya tools m8 even if you do wanna give it up cause 6 months down the road again you might fancy doing a bit.
Possibly take a fulltime job elsewhere and do what ever tiling comes your way if you can fit it in, you can chose what and when ya do it with out the money worries of being self-employed.
Just an idea...

hi there i know wot u mean i see a new van evry time am out ..never heard of these people they must b fresh off a course ,went to price a job a couple o weeks ago 15mtr b/room bloke nearly fainted wen i said £300..said he had been quoted £120 how can u make a living on that ? i still got the job tho but i had 2 go down 2 £220 coz he said the other bloke didnt sound very confident.last year i wudnt of offered 2 do it 4 any less but its so quiet got no choice!!!!!!!

 

[tysfoot]

thats so bad mate. that one is just a case of someone coming of a course and wanting the job so badly that he is prepard to work for next to nothing to get the job. Thats the problem i think now, thats why i worry.
There are 3 tiling schools in manchester that seem to be full every week so within 5 years how many people would want to tile or know how to tile

Hi
i've been reading this forum 4 a while now and toying with the idea about going on a tiling course 1of the main reasons i haven't took the jump is a topic like this.I'm of the thinking that their are more and more people taking these courses making work harder to get and driving down the prices of jobs.

Graham it's called market forces, and you can't control it, so don't worry about it! I used to have a chain of fitted kitchen shops. When we started the company there were plenty of kitchen companies already, not to mention the sheds and kitchen fitters dealing from home, but we still managed to grow the company massively and quickly. We didn't do it by trying to be cheaper than that lot, we did things they didn't or wouldn't do, and sold our fitting expertise and knowledge. If you try and compete purely on price I guarantee you will lose ( there is ALWAYS someone cheaper than you! ), and ALL markets already have compettitors alredy working them, so don't let that put you off.
