Hi everybody, just thought i would share some bad new with you all and hopefully stop anybody else making the same painfull mistake as me.
Ok, here goes. I started a job yesterday which was supposed to last for 3 weeks. It was a resteraunt, work involved was 3 sets of toilets, kitchen area, entranceway all mostly fully tiled ,floors and walls. As you can imagine i was fairley excited as this was probably my biggest job to date. Cue bad luck. As the day wore on the breaking handle on my rubi seemed to be playing up and i eventually realized that it was bent from overuse and i would need to get another one, As it was about 3pm i thought i would leave it until the morning to go and buy another so what i did was score the tiles and break them on the edge of my cutter with my hand, they were only ceramic and this worked pretty well until..... one of the tiles broke at a sharp angle, thus going straight through the middle of my hand leaving me with a hole the size of a 50 pence piece just underneath my thumb and blood squirting out like a water fountain. im now due to have an operation in the next 2 days to repair the severed muscles in my hand.
So if this post stops anybody else from doing the same i will have done my bit..... thnx for listening.
