who tiles just for

[Bubblecraft]

Just another notch on my belt. Times I enjoy it, times I hate it. There's no money in tiling though there should be. Comes part & parcel with doing a whole fit whether it being a bathroom or kitchen so make the money else where in the job

used to love tiling but now its just a job for me and the money, when you have done the same job since leaving school 32 years ago, its hard to find anything else to do that will give you the same to live on as tiling will, since I have been having problems with my knees and back....mainly due to tiles get stupidly big and heavy....ive come to the conclusion this job destroys your body....as do most trades in the building industry......would love a job sitting behind a desk. on 100k a year....cant see it ever happening though ..lol

Definitely for the money. The only part I really enjoy about tiling is the end of the job! Lol! I love that look on the customers face, when they're just blown away.. And the feeling of pride when you step back and just look at the work of art you've just created. Being quite a slow tiler, I find the rest of be process quite stressful, although most of that is due to working for other builders. If its my own job, and other builders are removed from the equation, it's a much more pleasant experience.

My Dad would say to me 'the day you treat tiling as a job and not a hobby, will be the day you make money!'
That was 35 years ago and I'd been tiling for 6 years then.
He took early retirement from the Civil Service and came to work with me to fill in his time and thoroughly enjoyed it, realising that he'd never had such job satisfaction in all his working life.
He did however have a good pension as a result and had a really interesting retirement for the next 29 years.
Me, I am fortunate that I have no mortgage, just an expensive family to keep and so feel that the type of tiling available to me now is well paid and enjoyable.

can I ask for

I worked in a supermarket for 11 years before I started tiling full time, including nightshifts. I'll never forget how much I hated some of those years, tiling will always be a paid hobby for me.
