Great to read your still at it, it's also good to see where you've gained work from. Think I'll take a few leafs out of your book and get visiting tile shops.

Very inspirational. If your work is like your dedication It will be very good.
Speed isn't everything quality is first and foremost Sean.
I have a tiler friend who has only the use of one arm, he is slow but his work is excellent and his dedication is unbelievable.
He truly is an inspiration and so are you, plod on mate.

Hi, I just finished a 4 week NVQ level 2 tiling course (from goldtrowel) which I loved and now I'm itching to do more tiling. Reading about your first year has given me a good insight in what to expect. So thank you for posting this! I'm just doing lots of free jobs for friends and family just to get experience so currently I'm doing my in-laws kitchen with metro tiles. I'm going to put my self out the there for paid work after February once I buy a van and buy a few more tools.

Just read your post Sean. You've got guts to stick at the way you have I don't think I could have. Made me realise how lucky I was to be fast tracked being trained by my uncle a terrazzo polisher. All the best great read.

I believe that new tilers should contact the most respected tilers in their area and offer free labour in exchange for knowledge and tricks of the trade .....jumping straight at it is achievable but you will be stressed beyond belief for a year or two.
Hard when in the end you become their competitors and manage to see their contacts they've gained over the years etc. They need to protect their future etc
You'd be best trying that and traveling to somewhere out of your area. Although just last week we had a kind bloke take another bloke on for free to show him the ropes so there are people willing to do it.
