Hello, regarding your hubby and tiling....We have asked a couple of trades people to come and look at our kitchen that needs tiling, and basicly everyone wants to rip every one off! They do not seem to charge a daily, or job rate but rather look at your property and car and see how much they can get away with. One chap wanted 595euros to tile 9sq m of dead flat 3 tile high splashback and wants us to drive and collect spacers, grout etc. My advice would be to charge a reasonable daily rate and do a good job. (a fair days work for a fair days pay) then before you know it he will be run off his feet.
We have property in the UK (buy to let) and we have trades people refurbishing property for us quite a lot and pay IRO £100 per day. I feel that 100euro's per day is reasonable, especially as most people pay in notes!!!
I do not know if this is of help, but it is our view of your situation.

Regards Jason and Rita

Thats good,if you stick to that then you should be ok,we really need good tradesmen over here. We also need more uk hairdressers-i have just had my highlights done in Paphos(not such a good choice of salon!).If you need any info on buying property when you are ready to come over,you are more than welcome to pick our brains..Regards Rita

Hi rach-um..could i have your email address,and then we can talk on there,as i don't really want to be unkind to hairdressers on site for all to see,that wouldn't be very nice,as she was a really nice girl.Tried to give you my own email address,but this site won't allow it yet as we are new to it. I am on Anglo info site as well,that has my address on it if you'd like to have a look.Rita :0)
