    I've tiled the top of a garden wall. The customer wanted to continue the theme from the conservatory out into the garden.

    I did one job in a paper mill. They shut down for Xmas. My team had to tile the walls and floors of 4 Stuff chests. (where the paper pulp gets pumped in/out ).The only access was a vertical steel runged ladder about 3m from the ground. This led to a 600mm wide circular port hole, through which we had to drag ourselves, tiles, tools etc.


    As the mill had only just closed, the temp. in these things was roasting. I remember the lads all moaning. Who got us into this, I did think at the time," what are we doing here" but, we got the job done and made good money. Its funny how a big cheque can dull the pain.
