Hi Enduro, I plan to get my accounting work out of the way then have a big drive to promote my tiling business. I want to turn over £30k this coming year in my tiling.

Don't know about tennis elbow -

Is there such an injury as tilers finger?
Or tilers wrist for that matter?

I think I am suffering from both - agony

Hi Frogeye mate, know where you are coming from with the finger thing. I found after my first few jobs that my fingers ached quite a lot and the muscles had got bigger below the knuckles. I think it is because of the "sliding, twisting" action we impart to the tile when setting into the adhesive!
Maybe your wrist is doing stuff it doesn't normally do, if you get my drift.

afternoon guys,i've been to doctors with pain in left wrist just above my thumb! turns out its tendonitis since staring the tiling!!!! no pulling the policeman for a while then...:wilted_rose:

The plan for this coming year is to promote my tiling a whole lot more as I've hardly done any this year, and also do a plastering course and with a bit of luck be able to offer tiling and plastering.

Also I keep saying I could really do with a van, but parking is bad where I live, so Im not quite sure on that front... but for plastering, it's going to be difficult to do that using a hatchback and keeping it summit like normal.

On top of that, leaving my shift job and being self employed again is also the other goal I'd like this coming year.

Exactly the same position as you mate, and that is the same reason I don't have a van, no parking however I am moving house in Feb and my new house has drive and garage, woohooo!!! Also want to do a plastering course.

have you completed your plumbing course yet Martin?

 

[IvegotsTILE]

Might do quick plastering course,upgrade on a new wet & dry cutter plus hopefully get a van. Keep plugging away at getting the work cause things are going quite well at the moment
