About a year ago a friend of mine was coming to the end of his new build house.
He asks me to take a look & give him a quote for the tiling he wants doing.
Gave him mates rates for labour,my full materials discount etc.
A while later he says the moneys running out & hes going to do it all himself.
Couple of bathroom floor & walls,kitchen floor & walls,lounge,hallway & w/c.
Not a problem I say.
I also say
"Before you start anything give me a shout & Ill run you though the prep work & what materials to use"
He didnt get in touch. Saw him a while later & he said what a load of hard work it was,and didnt realise how much effort goes into tiling, "I wish I had got you to do it now" he says.
We were working on the same job this week & he tells me tiles are falling off his bathroom walls.
He used ply,pva & ready mixed adhesive in the wet area.
Now hes worried about all the other tiling hes done !
