Started 1st job today.On starting read boxes to find they were porcelain 600x300. not a problem for my mates rubi TS70 cutter but too big for my husqvarna 470 obv..Started to panic for real when my small wet cutter wouldnt touch them and the angle grinder stopped grinding,but luckily I work in a building supplies/hire store and was able to borrow,free of charge ,a nice belle wet cutter.Letting the full tiles set at the mo and then heading round to tackle some of those cuts.All round a nice easy first job And I think my sister has swine flu:yikes:

[Andy the tiler]

[Andy the tiler]

A pic of a floor would be more appropriate. Didnt manage to get the fotos to rotate,dont know how to.

well done on completing your first job

 

[curlycan]

Hi good job on the flooring. Just one question did the customer decide which way to lay them or yourself. Personally as it was a galley style kitchen I would have laid them length ways to make the kitchen seem wider, I only ask as I'm going to tile a similar one soon.

[Andy the tiler]

Customer had already decided how she wanted them laid. Will use your advice in the future,thanks curly.

well done on your 1st job Andy. scary aint it? but feels good when your finished?

In future I'd advise you plan out to avoid sliver cuts like those by the door. Makes the world of a difference!
