@antonio - they may be Italian and don’t speak English!

 

[J Sid]

Nor does Antonio John, but I still understand him

 

[Italy]

@antonio - they may be Italian and don’t speak English!

photos are enough to understand each other.
if they are Italian
they know the British pounds well.
and for them that is enough
any tools are all okay
haha

What sort of electricity supply have you got in this remote overseas location? 240v or 110v?

By there is a lot of negativity here!
I worked in Norway 30 years ago and I went on ‘holiday’ for 3 weeks as I didn’t have a work permit!
The client paid for and shipped all my tools there that I needed and kept them when I flew back.

Let’s get a professional list together because you know how we all love architects!

John

Thanks John.
I understand where all this is coming from and believe me If I told any of these members in the forum/Tilers where the job is they would run a mile and would not be interested one bit!
We all need work and sometimes we can't pick or choose where that job is coming from!!!

 

[Boggs]

I really want to know where this place is now!

Don't be mistaken we are not touting for work , what we are saying is if they are tilers they should have their own tools , or if as John did in Norway, they should be able to tell you what they want as Antonio said. Which leads me in my best Sherlock Holmes to deduce they are not tilers .

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
This is a medium size house and manual cutting will take too long (I presume)and don't want to stay too long out there.
Any idea of makes on best(mid range) Electric Wet tile cutters, not too expensive(I have seen prices in the GBP 600 range)!!
I plan to hire a power generator while out there for the power needs!!
Thanks

Which ever wet saw you purchase make sure you buy the appropriate blade for what your cutting and invest in a quality brand name
