Uh oh he's a plumber!!!

[Time's Ran Out]

Now this is the problem with admitting pipe fitters into the lauded ranks of the Tilers Forum. A load of copper pipes being portrayed as a work of art!

Going good actually, only been with the new lads 3 months but done my fair share of pipe work in that time, I'm enjoying it actually, I treat pipe work with the same respect I do my tiling it has to be neat and set out correct etc
Its very convenient to be able to plumb a bathroom with a tilers brain as I can first fix as I go

Not bad for a first attempt .. practice makes perfect :lol:

Not so much a plumbers job anymore but I still had to learn it in college....

Working with sheet lead. Now bossing and welding rolls of lead is an art!

Hi Kyle and :welcome:to TF

 

[John Benton]

The advantage of a tiler going to pipework is the fact that he already has the trained eye for angles and lines, whereas the plumber......well it's under a floorboard and no-one can see it....

I'm sure there are exceptions to that rule and looking at how Kyle has portrayed himself he has a conscience when it comes to the customer. He should do well if he listens and learns, there's plenty to take in and this is the best place for information and help



That's for you TJ

This is my first tiling attempt. The tiler walked off the job after doing the floor so I was left to pick up the pieces and help the customer out.

Go on, rip it the pieces lol

Welcome to the forum.
Tiling looks fine,
The only thing i would pick you up for is the pipes out of the floor. (pet hate of mine)
You haven't done any thing wrong, I just think towel rails look better when piped up out of the wall.
Like your self i'm a plumber by trade but struggled to find decent tilers to work along side with.
I'm not saying there aren't any.
You will find a vast wealth of knowledge on this site, by experienced tilers who give up there time freely to help others.
Being a member of other plumbing and electrical forums i cannot say the same.

It will never work.
Flow and rtn pipe legs are crossed.
Also no isolation.
Recommend it be moved to name and shame thread.:lol:
