Good job you fitted those arch liner liners then

I bet you've got mats on mats aswell...

Narr, just one mat but a spare pair of shoes if its been raining.

Could of been worse, they could of called you Adrian...then you'd of had to be a plumber!!

Funny how it works over here, trades are very segmented, you HAVE to be a qualified plumber to do anything other than change washers, you HAVE to be a trade certified tiler to install tiled showers, etc etc and as for electrics...you can change a bulb...thats all! Was a bit of a shock to the system and I thought the UK was red tape done to death!!!

How long you been in NZ?

I'm certified alright....!
No, seriously, there are certain things I am not allowed to do, but ffs TILING!?!?
And just because you attended the course doesn't mean you are any good, believe me, I've seen work done by Fensa, Corgi, Gas Safe, FMB, and the Guild of Master Window Cleaners....
My 5 year old could have done better! It's all about reccomendations imho...

8 yrs this month, mostly loving it although the bank selling my house for me was not one of my plans!

Yep, tell me about it, have seen some shocking "professional" work, I'm unqualified myself and am pestering everyone I know for an "apprenticeship" to get my ticket and LBP cert, waiting on one of 5 to get a contract signed and then I'm good to go, in the mean time I'll be occupying myself with a bit of landscaping, a bit of renovating and a bit of Surf sorting!
