1st Job Pics

[Caledonian Tiling]

Hi All,

Here are a couple of pics from my 1st customers job ever, as you will
see from my new member post, the walls around the workboard were
sh*t excuse the language, with about 1 1/2 inch "craters" in certain areas
with plaster board running up to an old runner where a door in the wall used to be, then dipped straight down to the brick back up to the cement level covering the brick then the large gaping holes around the sockets....lucky me...

I worked my *** off and stressed loads to level out trying to use filler at 1st

before finally bonding out with plaster... i learned loads but my god it was a tough experiance...

Cheers.

For this I earned the grand sum of 2 bacon butties and all the tea I could drink...:wink_smile:

Imagine how fat you would be if you tiled the whole house?!?!?!

Surface prep is the key to good quality tiling, along with setting out

I'm lucky - bad walls - no can do. I will spot & dab plasterboard at a push - can't be arsed though. Tell them to get walls sorted. Always seem to have enough on to knock back the bad ones

Forget the rest - try to be the best.

REPUTATION - this counts for a lot - keep it & the work will come to you.
Loose it & loose the work.

Good luck mate
