I priced my work according to standards. I have very high standards. If you expect me to lay 8-9m2 of floor or wall tiles for 1000pesos then sorry, not gunna happen. If you want me to find someone else to do it and cream the cost then fine, I know guys who will work for that.
Like I said, I won't work for Dominicans unless paid upfront as they rarely see what goes into well thought out precision work, stick a tile down and move on, cut where ever without thought of matching up, levelling out correctly, using a correct ratio of a correct ad on a certain surface, tis all relevant to make a job last many years. So many absolutely terrible tiling jobs are on display everywhere around us, obviously done by 200peso m2 workers, he'll if I was getting paid that I couldn't give a toss what it looked like, if it cracked or lifted in the future either. I guess that is why I picked up those jobs after word of mouth and people inspecting my work first hand at friends homes. Knowing they can pay peanuts, and preferred to actually be sure of a good job.
