what has tilers forums done for you?

[White Room]

talking about tanking...i piced a job before xmas,never got it.The guy who got it is a painter and decorator who does tiling.The shower area was plwood walls and i advised to either remove it and replace with cement board or to tank the area....guess what.....i met him and asked him if he tanked the shower area?tHE REPLY WAS A VACANT STARE.says it all really.:lol:

Same as Brian, this guy had already had a big leak from one wall thru to the other side and still refused to have it tanked when I was retiling:yikes:

As Dean said, where do we start. primarily it was a source of learning, I set out to learn something every day. still knocked out by other tilers experience (s)

 

[tfs]

Great place for learning and asking questions on subjects that I have been usure of. I truly believe many tilers and diyers are more knowledgable than ever as a result.

 

[Colour Republic]

Its introduced me to some excellent tilers from all over the country, improved my technical knowledge and saved me shed loads of money by 1. mistake prevention 2. time saving methods 3.finding the cheapest suppliers.
It also acts as a support network when things go wrong and pretty much any question on any topic tile related or not is answered very quickly
You only have to Look at the range of tilers on here and you can see it offers something to every one

What Gary said

But in addition I now know what Wivers looks like so I can cross the street, that in its self is worth membership

In an industry and craft that is not only technical in its execution but extremely dynamic in it's advancement, I joined a forum for reassurance.

I've not only gained the sought after reassurance, but have met (both personally and online) some truly excellent people that have helped me build my confidence, knowledge and ability. I have, also, been able to share work with fellow members and picked up work from the forum.

I would be only half the tiler that I am if it was not for tilersforums.com .

Good thread Bri!

[jimbob]

It introduced me to the NETT course, its taken me from zero tiling knowledge to a fair amount (from tools to substrates to prep to materials), and most importantly its given me the confidence and support to tackle my own DIY job, which I would never have even considered doing without it

Oh yes, and its got me commenting on the tiling job of every programme I see on telly, much to the annoyance of my other half :yikes:

 

[brian c]

its somewhere to go when the weather is as bad as it is also.

 

[mistral]

Stopped me using PVA .........

TF gave me access to the information and expert knowledge I needed to ensure I did my DIY jobs properly. Plus it's taught me how to prepare properly for tiling. But most of all it's a great community, where I can chat with people from around the world about loads of things including tiling.

Oh and they gave me a job cos I hung around here too often :lol:

well, what aint tilers forums done for me. ive read so many threads, not always posted in them, but read and learnt so many things that i never learnt in my course.

So many kind people on here, been offered tools, some printed polo shirts and a offer of a bit work if it comes up.

this website is the most useful ive ever been on.

So many thanks to all who makes it what it is and gives the help and advice to tilers like me.
