I still don't understand these cartridge guns. If you press on it, the bar moves forward. But if you then press this plate to relieve the pressure, you'd have to pull on the bar every time to make it move backward. Otherwise, it's pointless, right? I always see people pushing on that plate at the…
Hi, how long do you have to be a journeyman to be eligible for master craftsman training? I'm thinking about getting my master tiler's certificate. And how does that work? Do I do it while I'm working, and how long does it take? The internet says otherwise everywhere.
Hey, can you do work and travel during your training and continue your training in the country (my desired country is Spain)? I'm thinking about starting a tiler apprenticeship this year (definitely a trade) and when I'm 18 (2nd year) I'd like to work as a tiler in Spain for a few months and then…

Around 1900, my great-grandparents laid a mosaic floor in the entire hallway on the ground floor. It features an old city coat of arms and my great-grandfather's initials. It doesn't fit in with my future decor. I think…

Hi, I had regular wallpaper in the shower area, right next to the shower rail. It got moldy pretty quickly from daily showering. But only in that area. (3 months since moving in) I scraped off the wallpaper in an area of ​​160x60cm. (Unfortunately, it took forever, but it was super strong. Despite scratching and…
If you're a tiler in a completely renovated apartment—meaning you've re-walled and re-laid parquet—and you're tasked with tiling the bathroom, do you trudge through every room in your work shoes, or do you stay in the bathroom and leave after the work is done? If you don't finish your work and you come back the…
My father initially wanted to become a craftsman, well, he didn't have any other choice. He chose to become a tiler. And he already tore out his knee during his training. He was lucky that as a career changer he was able to do a job that was less physically demanding, namely shift work in…
