Some of us need a holiday

Dear God, The red mist has just descended upon me, when I read the latest posting in I need a tiler! So we have a potential job that needs to be started on the 22nd of December and be completed in a week, as his wife is away, and it needs self levelling and who knows what horrors will be uncovered, and forget going down the merchants to get any more materials because to my certain knowledge 99% of us will be stuffing our faces, getting blind drunk, and having a tear up with our families, due to over exposure to the Cadburys Roses, too many cold turkey sandwiches, and being cooped up with relatives we see once a year and having a bad case of cabin fever.

On top of this joker man has also given us a spec, which may be unworkable if his marble is out of square or has a bit of a curve to it. I sincerely hope that whoever goes after this job, is rewarded financially beyond their wildest dreams. Because somehow I think they will need the patient of a saint, and be paid 20 times the regular going rate.

tooooo many variables, one of those jobs that could easily go belly up (for want of a better expression) for the tiler.
 
ooooooo i have missed this post.. will go looksie.. good excuse to get away from the mother inlaw :lol:
 
Imagine the fallout if it wasn't completed in 3 days!
We had one piggin customer order short on tiles, we got some more for her and she asked when we could finish, Mom joked we could do it Xmas day. The woman said said' well we won't be in, but we can leave you a key"!
Funnily enough she was told it would not be happening.
 
I like the first sentence.i am looking for a conscious tiler!!!
Does the potential employer think we professionals will be snoring our waybhroughnthe festivities
 
lol, just read it...he's looking for a "conscious" tiler!!,,,,is that opposed to an "unconscious" ​one?

I like the fact that on his website he says that he can add value to your home!!! Is that by passing the job on to someone who can do it properly.
yeh he did ,:incazzato: they had to do bissazza mosaics twise (on walls) as they fitted wrong way up, first time. And there was more other problems :mad2:
