Just bear in mind that the more times you do this, the smaller your bathroom will become!
I do indeed - I hope you get mine.I hope you get my drift
My point is this: sometimes there are better things to be doing with one's life than SDS chiselling off a bunch of tiles that don't want to come off without taking great chunks of wall with them, and having to make good before tiling, all because of some notional ideal that there is only one "proper" way to do things.
Caveat the existing tiles being sound, would you ALWAYS do the extra work? How about when the customer is in the twilight of their years, when all they want is a fresh look because their partner has died? Or for a family with more young children than their budget can account for, who just want something quick and cheery for the new babe? Or a neighbour, or family member, who knows you and can understand an explanation of the pros and cons, and is capable of making up their own mind?
Tozzy, I'm touched by your post
You and I are more similar than perhaps you realised, 'cos but I'm a perfectionist too.
The thing is, everybody else will think the book is wonderful, which is what she deserves.".
Sorry to hear you had a bad day - they happen, and it makes the good ones even better.
My advice about speed - you can't work faster simply by trying to. You have to recognise what's slowing you down and eliminate it/them. In general, unfamiliarity makes you slow, therefore practise makes you faster. Also, in my case, I used to think too much about the whole job, and the trick is just to work through, concentrating on one thing at a time.
All the best - see you around on the forum.
