Why is it ?

That tiling for a living we get -stuck-in , but when it comes to tiling at home the motivation just disappears :smilewinkgrin: ?

cause i ain't getting paid for it..!!!! in fact it cost you money to do it....that = zero motivation.....for me, anyway..lol

Fully agree with the above. I love it when your in the middle of a job & it's coming along nicely & the customer says "I bet your house is beautiful" lol

I did my bathroom last September and must admit it took some persuasion from my wife to take time off work to do it.

Now it's done I'm really pleased with it, cost a small fortune, 3 good holidays.

Once I got started I was really into it, and I didn't have to pack my tools up every night either But it is about self-motivation to do work on your own home. I just treated it like a job for a customer and then gave my wife an invoice :lol:

I've had 3 customers round to look at it and got jobs from all visits so well worth it.

It's not that I don't have the motivation, it's the time for me!

Thats what is was for me as well, my wife booked the 2 weeks in my diary months ahead so I didn't put any customers work in that slot and it worked.

[beanz]

It's a money thing for me.. That and the fact that I'm single, so no-one "motivating" me lol

I can honestly say that i tiled our bathroom at home and it is probably the worst job i have ever done. Lippage, sort of brickbond, it was lashed up in a couple of days. The wife said to me i hope you don't do this rubbish for customers. It would be a contender for the show us your bad work on here.

Started my downstairs toilet at the weekend, it's tiny and I've been putting it off for 2 years. Ripped it all out and got the floor down, time to see how long I can get away with leaving it like that!!
