I usually run through possible tricky jobs in my head dozens of times. I just can’t help it. I’ll wake up around 3am & lay their thinking of every possible method & outcome.
The worst one was a job where the customer had chosen 3 metre x 1 metre x 4mm large format tiles. All my tilers were flat out (even though it’s a £200.00 psm fitting rate!)
So I was going to do it myself. I worked out ridged frames for getting them up the stairwell, planned every detail a hundred times in my head......
Then they changed their mind & chose a small metro tile instead.
I didn’t know wether to laugh with relief or cry because of the 2 weeks of broken sleep!
