Im from a building background (im a carpenter)
Tilers can earn good money, i know a few who ive crossed paths with, now they are earning good money
then again, i would expect they are not earning MUCH more than me per day, and dont forget when you have your WC round, its setup and you dont need to go out in the evening to price up work etc etc etc
the people who say they earn 600, 500, 400, 300 a day, i dont know how they do it, as i can not even get close and thats working a good long hours day, take it with a LARGE pinch of salt
when my daughter starts school next year, im going to get back into carpentery, as i have my round thats now 3 days a week, i could set aside 2 days a week for carpentry (well group then all together and have 2 weeks carpentry at the end of my 6 week turn around), as i really miss the sence of achiving something, i would go as far as job satifaction, afterall a clean window is a clean window, a nicely fitted kitchen is something to stand back and admire
