It is only to see which payment band you would fall in :lol: .... but a recommend from a fellow TTA member will help :)

I have loads of them Dave....(hopefully you included)... heheheheehe......I think my posts prove the quality of my work (daily updates n'all).......why do they need to know my finances?

I would join just to get it more respectable in the industry.....but to be honest.......it has never stopped me earning a living and from what I have heard it dont help you make one!

not to knock it.........its all we have!

all the best

I once seen 15 mm thick granite stuck to a plastered wall with no apparent problems, one piece was actually on the ceiling section of a long alcove. I'm well aware of the reality of what can be achieved in real world. There are others factors that would dictate how much if at all you would want to breach the limits such as if the wall was plumb and if the bottom row of tiles where tiled on top of the floor tiles. We all take our chances but lets put it in to perspective and I hope no one uses the old extreme scenario here with babies having tiles fall on there head in the bath. We are sticking tiles not landing aeroplanes.
