and the poor blokes who wasted their time, their own free time, unpaid, to come round and give there advice and to quote, all with absolutely zero chance of actually winning the work.

Plenty of homeowners think that they can call people round to pick their brains for information on how to do the job with no intention of ever paying anyone.

(fairplay 1 or 2 gave poor advice like).

Just the way I read it and obviously its just my humble opinion..

Probably best if you pipe down and keep your assumptions to yourself.

I never said i was doing the tiling, the two who are in line to do it asked me to prep the floor myself, all my questions were about the floor not the tiling. I am a tradesman myself and know what it's like to quote and not win jobs.

Good response.

Not sure why someone would ask for you to prep the job for them, a process you've not done before, with materials you've not used. I wouldn't & neither would 99% of the users on here either.

But good luck with it and I hope your man does a good job for you..

I do not understand where the problem lies, what they're explaining is also a comparison of different opinions and can also serve us tilers.
I am the TF for this also, I'm here to learn .....

There is no need to close the thread.
All I meant was I did not want it to get abusive.
I was only refferring to the end posts.
Sometimes personal opinions cloud judgement and spoil a thread! :)
But everyone's happy now! :rolleyes:
And it will remain open. ;)
