    Got a new house to finish, that I started last Tuesday - Full bathroom, ensuite sower enclosure, cloaks, kitchen

    Then onto a couple of small floors with UFH for another builder to self level then tile.

    Then I might get a start on a lovely Fired Earth chiselled trav. entrance floor

    All in all a canny week next week, just a bit of running around to different jobs

    No mate not at all, I love tiling! I just thought the way things are I'm probably best to do my tiling and build my tools, Customer base and gain more experience around a full time job untill I can justify going at it full time (which I hope will be sooner rather than later). I have been trying the last few months to go it alone but with no money at all to advertise it's a bit of a silly idea.
