Hi am on my second job and am finding it so stressful i have work comming out my ears i was a printer for 14 years (easy life) just find that after doing a four week course i have to say i have alot to learn any advice please..

Best advice i think, is just take your time, and do best job you can. Dont be pressured into trying to rush, as it might backfire on you.

Oh, and welcome to the forum bud.

Thanks for that the customer loves it so far but i know there is alot of mistakes i think i need to take it slower but the thing is am on my own and when it goes tits up i start to panic because i have no one to turn too and i dont want my customer to spend money and not be happy guess it will take time cheers again..

When you start to panic, stop and stand back. I know where your coming from, i did a job about 6 months ago, first job with travertine, ithought it would take me 4 days, it ended up taking over 2 weeks, i was really stressed, almost packed tiling in after that, but when your finished and customer loves the job, you just want to do it again.

Eddie my first job was a limestone floor and it nearly broke me, everyday i got myself into a tiss but the customer was bouncing round afterwards so that was very uplifting, i can remember breaking loads to start, barn conversion so loads of cuts going to give myself more time have breaks etc cheers for the response lads made me feel loads better cheers..

I remember doing a small downstairs toilet. Tiling half way up the walls and the floor, thought it should be quick and easy as only about 2sqm.......WRONG!! I had to box in some pipes and the toilet and sink remained in (customer wouldn`t take them out and i`m no plumber), so many cuts!! Took me 4 days!! I remember feeling like i should pack it in cos i got really stressed but when you`re finished and look back at the work it never seems that bad!
