Thanks for your feedback.Not wishing to sound flip,
but now you’re getting the idea
“Getting out what you put in” can obviously be said about each and every trade or profession out there.
As a finishing trade, Tiling brings its own unique set of problems, this is something you will discover very quickly.
The term “it’s ok the tiler will get over that!”
is as common a saying as “hello”
So latching on to a tiler for a short period will be the best form of research you can do.
Good luck.
Cheers John.I started tiling in the early 70’s - yes 1970’s and after 6 years I wanted to buy a flat. The bank asked me to provide a business plan for a 12 month period. I was asked by Mr Howe - my bank manager - how many bathrooms I could do a week ( and I replied 1 or 2)
and he took off 3 weeks holiday and expected me to do between 98 and 147 bathrooms a year! He then broke it down into expenses and earnings and after a glass of sherry at 10.30 in the morning arranged for a mortgage to be offered to me.
It wasn’t anything to do with my dirty hand that greeted his ‘where there’s muck there’s money’, or the possibility that he was one of the last real branch managers, more the fact that my elder brother worked in his branch.
So the moral in my story is - it’s not what you know, not how much you can do, more who you know!
