Thanks for the welcome and the reply Dan.

Yes I'm female, and it's nice to know that I'm not the only one strangely drawn to a tiling career. Bit worried about L&R tho!!? I've been looking at a few tiling forums and decided to register here just because of your independant feedback. That's one reason, but the main one is because you all seem so nice.

I'll keep you updated with my progress, as I've enjoyed reading about how others are doing.

All the best,
K2

HI Folks, Yep I am a female tiler, I have been tiling for about 4 years now. I did my course at college and then also did one of these 4 day training courses. Seems more woman are getting into the trade . I enjoy and always get the questions from customer " Are you doing the work, I never heard of a woman tiler". Hope thigns are going well for all the other female tilers out in the trade.
