Can include the area of the property (for example - the dungeon), the property itself (bathroom at Buckingham palace) or the country you were in (tiling an igloo at the south pole).

I have no out of the ordinary places, but lets see what you lot have been up too.

Tiles the basement of a church in slate , it was were people were buried and there names were on the wall as you went down the stairs , when the generator tripped out it wasn't a nice place to be , tiled a bathroom in Dublin castle for the Queens visit a few years back , and the ensuite in a tv station for Tom cruise when he'd to do a interview

Technically not a strange place but the strangest experience I had. Turned up to tile a bathroom, Saturday morning. Got to job and there was a house party still going on (8.30am) at least 15 people where there. Stupidly I started tiling the bathroom, 30 minutes there and having to leave the bathroom umpteen times for people to use the toilet.

I went into the living room to have a word with the home owner. Said to him it isn't worth me tiling just now.. bla . .bla..bla. everyone then proceeds to start chanting pay the tiler pay the man! I am standing there mortified. Anyhow he pays me £40 and gives me a joint for my troubles haha :-D

I've tiled a shower on a fishing boat, several narrow boat galleys and fireplaces and, the most unusual, and sad, a baby crematorium room. My first job after my dad died. A long time ago now.

Sad times. I started this post for a giggle, but goes to show that we end up in some sombre and upsetting situations at times
