G'Day From Down Under

[MICK the Tiler]

G'day All,

Been lurking around for a while and really like what I see, Been a pro tiler for about 20 years down here in Oz where the Summers are hot as hell but the Winters are mild and kind to tiling. Still trying to get my head around some of your tiling Jargon and the types of materials used by all you guys so be gentle while i'm learning the lingo, And I hope I can be of some help.

Great Forum

Cheers Mick.

G`Day mate, i used to live in Melbourne and i sure do miss all those lovely straight floors and the way Beaumonts used to carry all the tiles and adhesives into the house for me.
Used to work on AV Jennings houses, great stuff.

I'm from Brisbane

Plenty of work for all I mainly do 80% of my work from referal and have about half a dozen builders on my books plus a few kitchen companies as well. If your punctual do good quality work you will be in high demand and you can name your price. I've been getting up to $100au/Sq/m for polished porcelain at the moment, but the job will be perfect NO LIPPAGE. and that's what I tell my clients.
