Well I got there at 8 am and was totally finished by 5 pm. Now all that’s left to do is go back tomorrow and grout the floor. The people are totally satisfied so far. I had enough of the under board to do the whole floor so all I had to buy for the job was the stuff to stick the tile down with and the grout. I will make about $350 profit from the job. Not too shabby, huh?
My boss did let me use the tile cutter from work. I told him what I was doing and he told me he was actually proud of me for my grit to try and make something for myself. He’s totally behind me doing these side jobs as long as it doesn’t interfere with my work through the week. He did tell me that if he catches me taking anything other than what is thrown away, that I was fired. I won’t ever do that because I love my job and need it more than the side jobs.
I told him that I have no intentions of leaving his company because of all I’m learning and this is just something to make extra money and not a way to try and make it without my job. He was glad to hear that. I’m not an idiot, a steady pay check is almost guaranteed, side jobs aren’t. They’re just icing on the cake when I can get them.
