Re: What was your very first tiling project ?
I was 19 and doing maintenance thing at a small factory and they wanted the ladies and gents powder rooms fully tiled. Was sent round to the shop where the tiles where being purchased and gave me a run down on what to do, the factory is still there, would love find out if there still on the walls, probably make gringe if they where.

I'm doing it right now!!!
Only a 12m2 area (half of a large bathroom) but daunting for my first job!!... Maybe I'll look at the posts you guys have made in years to come and think "what the hell have I done!!!"....

I don't like wasting peoples time so I try to research everything I can first... and then move on to the questions.... I'm sure all of my questions must have been answered a thousand times, I know you guys always give the best answers you can, but I don't want to annoy you all!!
Maybe jobs 2 and 3 will challenge you all a little more!!
