Ok guys, noticed a few people wondering wether or not 4 day tiling courses are worth it, well, I went to North East Tiling Training, I had never laid a tile in my life, i have posted a few pics to hopefully prove that the course i attended can and has indeed taught me exactly what to do. The thing some people don't seem to understand is no matter how long or short your course is, you still need practise and real world situations/problems to gain more experience and improve your skills.
The pics below may not be perfect, as you professionals will no doubt find some kind of fault, this is not a problem as constuctive criticism is always welcome but please remember i have never laid a tile in my life and achieved the below pictures with 4 Days Training, ..................................Thanks to Darren at North East Tiling Training.

Nice easy floor - looks good, well done :)

Should have charged her another 20quid (plus bits) for the doorstrips to be put in too :)

Varley

Nice work m8

Thanks Lads, one thing i did find difficult was getting myself organised it's only 3mtr2 and felt i had no space to move around, kept falling over myself. Hope the next ones bigger.

Varley

Yeah, pain in the but when you haven't got much room to work, not much you can do about it really though.

Tilings fine m8 but set out is all wrong, should have centered the floor and you wouldnt have the small cuts either side.

trevortine

And by the way m8, its nice and flat, which is excellent for your first, many are far from it

Paul Sh

Looking through the door while standing in the landing it is all center. Or is that not the correct way of doing it

trevortine

Rather than starting in the middle with the egde of a tile you should have started with the center of your tile on the center line, this would give you almost 3/4 of a tile each side.

Varley

Very true, would have looked better but hey, still great for the first job paul

Paul Sh

Oh right, i get ya, oh well you live and learn, at least i know for next time, cheers.

Varley

Nothing at all wrong with the tiling, you've got that down to a tee, just a little more thought on the setting out and you laughing m8, don't be discouraged
