What was your very first tiling project ?:8:

 

[Gazzer]

The wall the back of my nans washing machine in her kitchen.
"Neale aged 8"

 

[White Room]

I was 19 and doing maintenance thing at a small factory and they wanted the ladies and gents powder rooms fully tiled:yikes:. Was sent round to the shop where the tiles where being purchased and gave me a run down on what to do, the factory is still there, would love find out if there still on the walls, probably make gringe if they where.

first paid tiling job was a 5m2 bathroom floor which had to be plyed out first..absolutely bricking it at the time...lol

I'm doing it right now!!!

Only a 12m2 area (half of a large bathroom) but daunting for my first job!!... Maybe I'll look at the posts you guys have made in years to come and think "what the hell have I done!!!"....

Cheers,
Melon.

Cheers Brian!!

I don't like wasting peoples time so I try to research everything I can first... and then move on to the questions.... I'm sure all of my questions must have been answered a thousand times, I know you guys always give the best answers you can, but I don't want to annoy you all!!

Maybe jobs 2 and 3 will challenge you all a little more!!

Cheers,
Melon.

Using sawdust to wipe the sand/cement grout off the surface of floor tiles at a service station on the A30 Ringwood Road in Dorset Circa 1973. Used to go down to the New Forest each weekend from London to learn the trade!

My first project was my kitchen floor and splash back 8 years ago, and it still looks as good now as it did when it was done.
