    I was a landscaper, during the winter I did property maintenance which developed into tiling. Been doing it full time for 7-8 years now and love it! You won't get the same suntan you do with landscaping though

    Hi and welcome to you too. Good job with the bathroom. It does get easier and you will get quicker at it. Investing in the best tools and machines money can buy makes it a lot easier.

    It looks great

    I would just love to be out digging and planting on a nice warm day, instead of tiling a boiling conservatory

    It takes time at the beginning, then you just sort of know what you are doing and it gets faster, I think! Keep it foing mate.

    Hi Mate,

    Fairly technical job you took on there! Boxing in, Tiling around window, mosaics around window with tile trim! You really where up against it, I think one thing you should have learned from your first job is to make things easier for yourself!

    Godd luck in the future!
