Hi guys...

I work offshore so I am away for 6 months of the year, the other 6 I have at home. I was thinking about tile as a second job. I live in the Tayside region.

I tiled a bit when i left school for maybe 6 months then I stopped. I have tiled my own kitchen, bathroom etc and although I need to learn a lot I am confident I can become really good. I also enjoy it so it seemed to me the correct way to go.

I was wondering how the market is at the moment with regards to the recession. Is there still money to be made in my area?

I have a friend who is a tiler. would it be wise to ask him if i could labour for him and learn from him or should I take the knowledge I have and dive straight in whilst learning all I can from this website?

any other recommendations and help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks :thumbsup:

You'll learn all the basics from a 2/4/6 week course, do one of those and then go and labour with your mate to gain some experience, oh and most importantly, stick around on here, we can solve all the tile related problems :thumbsup:
