Re: advise on floor please
Agree with above especially with a sauna floor. Is it feasible to screw a backer board onto the existing floor?

You have to tell the customer how the job needs to be done, and if he wants the work done on the cheap.... walk away. You have to decide how you want your business to progress, as a trusted tiler who will give a quality job at a good price, or as someone who'll do whatever the customer wants to make a quick buck. In my opinion..... reputation is king, and i would be quite happy to walk away.
