What jobs have u got booked in ? - Encouragement for new tilers

[Leatherface]

Thought it may be an idea to start a new thread to encourage new tilers, and show there is plenty of work out there. Any of you guys who have a few jobs booked in - why not do a list and where job has come from ? Honesty please - sure we are all are ? Would paint a good picture for us all. I will kick off...
Jobs confirmed where you have agreed a date, and jobs confirmed with start dates to firm up - in no particular order -

• 2 x bathrooms 1/2 tile walls plus shower area, ceramic tiles - 20 sq m. Tanking wet areas - Through Plumber.
• Kitchen and dining room floor - 22mm sandstone tiles - 26 sq m - Through Kitchen shop.
• Shower area - 6 sq m, ceramic tiles, tanking - Through plumber
• 2 x new builds, 2 bathroom floors plus walls 1/2 tile, kitchen splash & floor. Meterage tbc, ceramic tiles - For builder
• 10 x appartments & 2 houses - ceramic tiles, basic tiling, bathrooms, en-suites & kitchens, walls & floors ( another tiler will be drafted in to help, time critical) - Builder got my name from tile shop.

Impressive stuff Leatherface, goes back to what i was saying in another thread about how important making contacts is, the majority of jobs you have lined up are from other tradesmen, great to see, certainly gives me some confidence and hope, congratulations on the rep you have built for yourself, i hope you continue to reap the rewards. Now...wheres that yellow pages at

Cheers pal - again I will stress - keep making those phone calls and calling in to see people. You may get many knock backs, but the few that are willing to give you a try may be the icing on the cake and lead to other things.
You need balls of steel if you know what I mean ? I called at one kitchen company 3 times over a 2 year period - eventually they are passing me work - guess they got sick of me and gave me the work to stop me pestering them !

that programme balls of steel is class the one with the gay bloke who calls the plumber for a leak under his sink, when the plumber gets there and looks under sink he finds a stash of huge dildos you should have seen his face when the gay bloke asks if he fancies a bum
(ps sorry to change subject leatherface)

[Leatherface]

Sorry not seen that one - don't watch the gay channel on cable !!!
He, he

Nice to see a couple of recommendations on there.

Hi

Regarding that Balls Of Steel, Yeh , It is funny as hell.
Personally like the European Rodeo sketch with the nutter just jumping on random Polish blokes and hanging on for dear life.
Might give it a go myself next time I'm on a site with some of our foriegn friends
