What is the craziest job you have ever done ? - TilersForums.com

[Leatherface]

Just thought I would start a new thread,
there are many businesses out there who get one firm to do all their shop fitting nation wide as it makes good sense to allow one contractor to send relaible tradesmen who will get the job done on time and to a good standard ( rather than find trades in every town or city that the shops are situated )

My most seemingly pointless jobs recently have been :

Travel from Halifax to Scotland in one day to fix one and a half metres of tiles to a shop front.

Also travel from Halifax to Stoke to replace three tiles at the Wedgewood museum.

Can anyone beat this ?

Am waiting for someone to ask me to go to Ibiza to replace and grout one mosaic tile ! Any offers ? :yes:

Mental
These contract shop fitting companies must be making a killing, god knows what they are charging if they can afford to pay us our rate and still make a profit
