why is it

[Marksmithtiling]

I was talking to a multitrader the other day,whom I used to work with a lot.He told me he had a new job with a new company fitting out hotels.As a multitrader he was tiling the bathrooms and telling me about a certain problem he was having. I told him how to very simply get over it. His face was a picture, he said to me " that's why you are a tiler ". To me it wasn't difficult, just the way I do it! He has even phoned me to thank me again and cant believe how simple it is. So some do take the tips !!

Indeed every day is a school day. I always look at other tilers work. Set out etc to see their reasoning or was it just good/bad luck or chance. They say you learn from your mistakes but can't you learn from others mistakes too 😉 I remember when I started out on my own I got called into a job to finish it after the original tiler got the boot. It wasn't great but not the worst I'd seen. He also wAs on a good day rate but wasn't putting in the hours. Anyway on Inspection of his work I noticed the way the trims had been mitred 3ways. Then I Sussed it was possible because of the type(shape ) of the trim. I learned that on that occasion regardless of the guys ability. Never disregard anything too quick......Every day is a school day 🙂

Well as the OP kept his tip secret I will too . TBH Ash the amount of research you have done you will probably do it without thinking

Naivety is often the reson for a tradespersons work to be sub-standard and not necessarily because he/she has low standards themselves...... but then you could argue that a lack of ability to learn, research or seek alternative methods or willingly receive advise from someone with less 'years' experience as a sign of low standards in itself.

Me personaly i think it is so important to keep an open mind to everything....

 

[afright]

New Methods are coming along all the time and if someone with less tiling knowledge than me but has used new method's or product's I for one would listen if it makes my job a lot easy,just coming on this forum has opened up alot of new info for me.
