I Was grouting 112 m2 today and I just kept thinking to myself " I really hate grouting" ! So I was just wondering what part of the job would everyone not be to keen on? Personally I like the whole setting out and mosaic work !

Dry cracked fingertips, using wetsaw outside in winter and tiling kitchen backsplashes. Oh and cutting glass tiles without the coloured backing chipping off:mad2:

Heavy boxes of tiles,so heavy you need a crane to lift them(I think that's a sign that I'am getting to old for this game).

Letting customers down down to delayed schedule or simply taking on too much. It defocuses me from tiling.

Customers? Love them, and hate them.

My main issue with the job is constantly battling to find a decent parking space with all the permits in most places now and consequently - tickets. It's not really that bad though Most days I love my job but obviously I always have my bad days.

But get yourself a bottle of 'Certraben Emollient Cream' usually 500g. You can find it on Ebay, cracking stuff, really solved my cracked fingers.
I'm not a massive fan of working all day, then coming home and doing paper work and quotes all evening, just don't get chance to switch off some days.
