Tiling related OCD traits

[jonnyc]

I only use profi 333 stonemasons pencils.
i lose them all the time but at least I know if anyone on site has borrowed mine as they are so rare in uk.
they are also 300mm long and more difficult to lose.

For some reason i like to have lots of buckets of water full to the brim........just incase we have a sudden drout in the middle of a job ...lol

I always find myself spending a few minutes trying to peel off the labels from tile trim....... hate to think how many days I've wasted in total doing that!!!

Constantly looking for my pencil and hobby knife. Chuck my sponge in the water bucket only to find I chucked it in my addy bucket. Go to get the tool I need to carry on, get to van and forget what tool I need. Never find a good time to stop and eat, so wait till I'm bustin for a pee and have to stop. Go overboard blocking doorways at end of day, had my new freshly laid floor stepped on too many times, in fact happened Thurs night after I left site, fixed it Fri morn then bloomin woman stepped into room to have a nosey, 3rd time lucky, door shut, 10 boxes of 60 x 30 stacked up against door, sorted...

Only the best he says , just picked up another dozen tubs yesterday ... feels strange going into a kebab shop and only asking for empty tubs :lol: .. no food.

Chewing spacers, grout lines must be spotless before the next course goes up..... Must run in the family tho, my youngest HAS to put my lunch in the van before i go to work - he's only 18 months old and gets very upset if i forget to let him do it!
