Tell us how the bloke reacts at the final bill,I'm always interested to see peoples reaction,the amount of times I've thought they were going to keel over when I give them a quote and they actually seemed very happy with the price astounds me.

hi

just a quick note to let those who were interested know that I got paid for this job today £330 for a 4.75m2 floor (see top post). I did feel quite guilty because I wasnt entirely happy with the job.!:icon9:

firstly the kitchen I was doing back straight onto the conservatory and the temprature gauge stated just short of 100 degrees so it was damn hot, as a consequence I really panicked on getting the tiles down before the adhesive skinned over. As a result two of the tiles where a slightly different level to the others (slightly higher (1-2mm) noticeable in my opinion.

secondly i was so concerned about tiling onto a floating floor that I left a bigger gap round the edges than was necessary, so siliconing it today was a nightmare.

i'm not sure if the customer noticed, I cant see how he could not have but he didnt say anything, I just felt a bit of a fraud taking his money being the consumate professional etc haha

anyway I learnt very important lessons on this job.

1. take your time, its better to do a professional job over three days than an amateur one over two

2. dont cut corners, it will bite you in the arse. I 'may' have got away with those one but I probably wont next time.

thanks
