Tile spacers

[Dougs Third Go]

It's good practice to remove them - 2 jobs a week x £4 x 52 weeks = £208 = holiday.

Or another way to look at it is 2 jobs a week ? half hour a job ( on the light side ) 1 x 52 = 52 hours, a working week !!!! or you could save £208 in spacers, I know what I'll carry on doing thank you very much lol

spacers v time = no brainer, and I used a half hour per job, that is probably closer to an hour, job dependant.

There are always different views on how best to maximise a profit and I'd rather save money than leave it on a wall/floor. When I used to employ tilers I could have had a family holiday every year on the amount of spacers they left on the floor or put in the rubbish! For me the few minutes cleaning the tiles down and pulling out pegs is just the therapy I need and reminds me of my Dad - it's the pennies that make the pounds and money saved saves money earned.

I remove them every time, i use tilemate wedges and rubi spacers, i was always taught about the grout depth and colour variations being the main problems.

... (-) the time to remove them, 2 x 30 mins = £20 quid per week x 52 ... £1000

obviously when using as pegs then they need to be removed. If using them inserted fully then Time to remove would be x5 but I really don't think anyone inserts fully then removes!!!

Always pull out - you don't want CSA ( Cast-off Spacers Agency) after you
