Why is it ?

[John Benton]

lol...same as my wife, got so fed up with me saying i'll do it, she booked it in me diary..

My problem was more about which tiles to have. We'd see some one week and then a new range would come in at another of my suppliers and we'd change our minds. Good thing is we both like the same things so that eliminated the arguing over colours styles sizes etc

Was discussing this with my mate today. The truth of the matter is....we cant really afford ourselves, its a lot of money unless you have no work

Definately hard to get the motivation, and all depends on how many half bags of adhesive you have in the garage.

Done my hall first, was a first class job with plenty of features and mosaics. Bathroom had quite a few travertine borders and boxed bath panel etc but didn't take too much care with lippage etc as I just wanted it done. Kitchen was cheapest end of line in the tile shop and basically stood at the back door and threw them on. Worse and worse, wouldn't dream of leaving a customer's house like that. :lol:

Trying to move house at the minute and keep telling myself that the next one will have plenty of 1200x600, Porcelenosa Woodtec and stone bathrooms, but realistically it'll probably be B&Q 12x12 if it ever gets done. Know a few tilers who just get other tilers in to do their houses to make sure they're done. :lol:

Suppose it's the same as any job. A mechanic will never service his car and an accountant couldn't tell you how much he has in the bank.

I hate it, it took me 4 months to mosaic the bathroom, then I had to get one of the lads in to grout up, and now I hate it. So its all got to be ripped out again. Lets not even talk about the splashback in the kitchen.....ummm did someone say tile on tile...yes thats got to be ripped out as well.

its always a nightmare doing stuff at home.
when your there , there is always other little things to distract you. a 2 day job becomes a week.or more.
i think you need to do a labour swap type arrangment. i give you two days and you give me two days etc. that way there is a client and your working for someone else

I hate doing any sort of work around the house !

 

[MTiler]

Ive been in my flat about 15 years, Ive only done the shower area in the bathroom and just recently did the kitchen! Took me ages to find something I liked and could afford lol.
I have the tiles for the bathroom to finish it off but really cant be bothered.

I really dont feel so bad after reading some of these posts. Almost 9 years in this house and havent got around to doing the kitchen....came close a few times but keep changing my mind on what I want.
