Re: you want to be a tiler///////

the good points:
not one job is the same,
travelling about in the beutiful lake district doing something i enjoy,
relly nice customers who make you feel like one of their family,
seeing people who really appreciate your hard work,
making peoples dreams come true,
finishing a job earlier than anticipated and having a long weekend off.

Bad points:
no regular income so to speak off,
unpaid holidays,
customers who have done a bit of tile before,
working with a plumber who is lazy and wants to only make one journey on the job you are on.(first and only fix) you know the ones.
and the worst one for me is when you are working in a house when the occupants are smoking!!!!!!!

what im about to show you is a real life customers house. the occupants smoked about 60 cigs a day for over 40 years without decorating!! i kid you not, so be warned pics are truely shocking: and yes that is pure nicotene

does it still look that way Sean?

to be honest i done the bathroom and after that havent been back, it was last summer that i done it so it might have been cleaned up. if there was ever a reason to give up smoking this is it. people tell me i should show the pictures to like anti smoking groups and goverment health people.
