A southern tiler video-blogging. Or, vlogging.

You can also follow him on twitter.

Should be fun. He's done several already. And he rates on mondays some silly customers need to pay a stupid tax for being so stupid.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I feel cheated that I have nothing planned south of the border, I would like to meet up with you guys.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Mr Hobson, I believe you and I will be on a proper tiling course together on 30/31st October in the genuine heart of Englands tile history.
Look forward to crashing zimmers.

I look forward to meeting a legend, on or off the zimmers, I have met some really good folks on this forum. I hope we don't bore the rest of the guys/gals with our reminiscences. I don't think we will. I hope we may bring a sense of what a trade used to be. A time served tiler is a rare thing today

Who's a Leg End!

 

[Pebbs]

Saw Nick at the Home Improvement show at Earls Court last friday!
He no doubt sends his regards.
Adam - how do you manage to get all the good jobs or is this the state of the industry down south?
Good posts.
Thanks.

Hi John, I'm pretty sure it's just the state of things down here at the moment. Went to look at a job last night where the lady was in tears, her re-furb was only finished two weeks ago but it's so bad she has to have it re-done. There's just such a generally low standard of work around at the moment, and with my in built **** magnet I manage to find most of it :mad2::mad2:

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I seem to be finding quite a bit of it at the moment Adam. Keep up the good work mate

Don't forget the seatbelt - and the tissues!

A tip for those with a dodgy level that's setting a datum line or any other general level/plumb line that's longer than the spirit level being used.

If you use a level that's 2mm out over the length of the level, you can do a 2000 linear meter and be well out, or you can just be 2mm out max!

The difference is, to get it right, you need to turn your level around 180 degrees each time you add another length on your datum.

Not sure it would have sorted Adam's issue out though :lol:

 

[The D]

the only thing to do with a dodge level is bin it.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

the only thing to do with a dodge level is bin it.

The only thing a dodgy level is good for is a straight edge - so knock out the vials and use it as a batten!
First job when starting setting out a room is check the level, if its not reading the same when turned around, its been dropped/damaged so 'bin it' (quote Deano).
Always get your datum/level line drawn around the whole room before you start tiling and make sure it meets up! Don't try and fiddle it across the door - it shows and it means your running out somewhere.

i use a laser these days to set out , its so much easier..

Dogs, you godda love 'em else you'd just throttle them sometimes!

Really pleased you're well again Adam, and glad you're back blogging.

 

[Graham100]

Love it! How do I find his previous stuff?

 

[Dan]

All in this thread at the start mate, along with his own blogger website info and twitter info. He's on youtube too which is where all the video's end up and we pull them from there.

This thread is 11 pages long so far though.

Can't you just :lol: Bless.

He's probably very busy getting jobs done before xmas AND having sleepless nights. I don't think we'll see another vid until the new year.
