What makes a good tiler? How do I find a good tiler?

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I think all above comments contribute to being a good tiler, but I think Gisela ( Mosaic Girl ) summed it up, being a perfectionist or ( your own worst critic) I can't leave any job unless I am totally happy with it, from the prep to the finish. Having said that we should never get to confident in our abilities, we are after all only human.

The ancient craftsmen of Greece and Rome always made a small deliberate mistake, so not to anger their Gods, (only the Gods were perfect)
Thats my excuse anyway

I think that there's no one aspect that defines a good tiler, we're all as good as our last job so to speak. So I guess the key is to concentrate on the job in hand and do it to the best of your known ability and then keep on concentrating and learning from your last job....
