Let Me Introduce Myself.


Hey guys! I just found this site about an hour ago and I've already came across a TON of useful information so I had to join right away. I was just given my start in the construction trade by an old family friend and I have fallen in love with it. Although I've only actually been in the trade for about 6 weeks my education started years ago with my father, and a few construction technology classes. I look forward to learning from you guys as I really want to excel in this field with an emphasis on ceramic tile. I guess I'm really just trying to prepare you guys for all of the questions ill be asking (don't worry ill search as much as possible before bugging you guys). Thanks for the information I've already gone through, and thanks in advance for any advice! it will certainly be appreciated.

Re: Let Me Introduce Myself.


Read, read, read the tiling section. Tile is not rocket science but you must know what you're doing. Get yourself a copy of the TCNA handbook and become familiar with it. It will save your installs and make you a better tile setter!
