ive always wanted to learn tiling, think its one of those things that looks easyer than it is.
not taking the mick, i bought one a few months ago, it's an excellent dvd, covers everthing you need to know and only £1.99
erm...not sure if you are taking the mickey I thought things like that would be frowned upon on this forum but for £2 it's worth a look, think i'll grab 1 tomorrow and check it out. Thanks
that looks good for a basic start ash seems quite reasonable as well. although how they will cram five days worth mon-fri into two weekends sat-sun i don't know.
A 4 year apprenticeship says its not as easy as it looks.
Never paint when your drunk :smile:
Is it really a 4 year apprenticeship in tiling? Never would have thought there could be that much to it. I'm not trying to be facetious, just curious. Surely after you've learned how to identify and prepare surfaces, use batons, work with adhesive and grout and set things out properly it's just practise. I'd have thought a year working with someone would be more than enough.
Jeez you really do ive up to your signature sorry if I sound condesending.
the old saying of been a master of one trade is outdated now IMHO , customers rightly dont want a jack of all they want a master of all. i know my limits , i can tile,palster,plumb and heat and repair my weakness is electrics hence why its back to college. one step at a time ash maste what your learning before you take another trade on
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the locked off trusted advisor section of the tilers forum. Gall B will be telling everyone that all plumbers learn to tile watching a £2 B&Q DVD!
Not true, mine was the Homebase version. :38:
When i started my time there was no such trade as a tiler as far as i know. Tiling was done mainly by plasterers and plumbers used to build tiled grates.
I really like seeing old tilework. There are lots of old tenements up here with tiled stairs. The work is amazing to look at if you take the time to look properly.
Well mate, there's always the Alloa Plumbers benevolent fund, all donations welcome.....I'm concentrating on the plumbing/gas side of things for now but I have resettlement funds to spend so may as well get something good that I can use along side that.
WaterTight if you knew anything about the Building trade at all you would know thats not true
if you find it boring its usally because your no good at it & you shouldnt be doing it
