| Frogeye Tiling folds | | Hi
Not folding due to lack of work, but medical issues.
Was a fire officer for too many years to remember but had to leave for medical reasons following major incident.
I decided to retrain as a tiler but I find that I cant hack the dust. My skin reacts badly to it as does my chest and the thought of wearing full cp suits and ba whilst tiling is a no no. It wasn't a major issue on the course as it was winter, freezing and in a large area, but in a small bathroom and in this heat............
So a few grand on the PTS course and tools, not wasted but spent and I am back to square one.
Dan can you change my moniker to regular contributer please
Best of luck to everyone

| Re: Frogeye Tiling folds | | Frogeye, thanks for all your contributions to the community, both questions and answers.
I'll keep your tag for the time being, as ex-tilers can have a drink too you know. Though if you're not around for some time I'll shift it to regular then.
I suppose most trades wouldn't help with your situation then? Electrical / plumbing ever took your fancy? | Dan  |
