Finishing off other tilers work - not something I generally agree to do, but in photo below, the walls had been tiled by a "professional tiler" except - no tiles around the circular window ("cant do circular cuts like that missus"); no tiles around the fan ("tiler kept having cigarette breaks and didn't finish the job"); and no tiles on bottom row and on boxed in sections ("tiler said the builder would sort that out"). So I agreed to sort that out after finishing the kitchen floor ("cant do cuts around that type of manhole luv" - second photo).

Clearly too many tilers who cannot be bothered with anything remotely challenging (sorry Andy Allen - this job was in your neck of the woods - Stroud. I should have sent them to you really).
