Thanks - a great compliment from a Scottish man (btw, how do you like to be addressed - as a Scot/Scottishman/other?). I just insulted Jimlad by referring to Yorkshire and have to find a red rose to appease him. I am a Celt, but some people mispronounce it when they refer to me!
They appear to have no form of Apprenticeship training here. Do builders here go to College? I doubt it - so they just learn on the job but probably have no-one well enough qualified to teach them. Similar to teachers - the end product of being taught by poorly-educated teachers in the first place!
Hope this isnt off topic. I once employed lots of Filipino workers, so called skilled workers. Brought them to Australia to work and hand selected every one of them in Manila and Dubai. Did this a fair while and best thing I ever did in my business. The key was retrain them, be patient, be respectful. Most of them want to learn, all wanted to work. If you don't treat them well you don't get results. In my younger days I did some tiling, a few houses that I flipped. I know what's involved, I know how to square a room off and how to lay the first tile. Its not rocket science and with some patience if you know what you are talking about it cannot be that hard to teach a local tiler. P.S. Dont bring this up when I build in Pi one day and have all sorts of issues...
Yes, and only after 4 years. live and learn. Next time I see you in Valencia market(red chairs) I will buy you a decent cup of English tea(bring my own Teabags)
Hello, did you end up with a good tiler you would recommend. I need also one to replace tiles in my bathroom.
