sometimes you can trade materials for work tysfoot mate..so you would be ok for Nails if you did some out there.......
 
got between £3500 -£4000 a week while over there but needed it. the camp was under armed guard and was a bit nerve wracking to say the least! but i would go back for the same money. only need 6 weeks to earn enough for nearly a years work:hurray:
 
The bathroom showroom I'm doing at the moment has 28 suites plus staff and public toilets,I went in the warehouse to count the boxes of tiles so I could see how much there was.......260 boxes(sqm):whatchutalkingabout .

On a day rate of 130 and the place is a 5 minute walk to my house,not had to go at any great speed either,this is a top spec job and will send alot of well paid work my way in the future.......back of the net.:grin:

Owning a bathroom with that size of walls indicates the customer has cash which may also indicate very nice tiles (or maybe not). Maybe some nice 60 x 30 porcelains, if that is the case Tysfoot then if i was you i would steer clear. A job of that size when just starting out would be bloody daunting. May do a fantastic job mate but a 55sqm bathrrom within the first weeks of starting out seems a little to much in my opinion.
Good luck getting it anyway mate if you want it.
 
Do you know a pro tiler who could do the job with you t/foot?...being a newbie.,I wouldn't like to hear of another disaster from you....you are already reason for concern......I mean that in a caring way.....Gaz
 
Dont worry, there wont be another disaster like that, the pipe incident wasnt my fault really as the guy was doing the job for was a joiner so he knows his stuff so he just said tack the boards down with the material i get you, never told me about the water pipes so he took full responsibility and i got paid full price for the job.

As far as tiling so work has been excellent, ive had good feedback from every job ive done so far and ive had a few recommendations from most of them

as for the 55 sm i start on tuesday, walls have been plastered and i dont see a problem with fixings
