 'Due to back problems in 08', I'm limited to the size of jobs I do.... I am still prepared to help those wanting to D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) to possibly save thousands, if your willing to put in the effort. I am offering my 22yrs experience to help those that want to tackle there own walls / floors but just need to know where to start and how to set out their own house.
  So...... for a 2 hour session for me to come to your house and guide you through the hard bits of setting things out and to make the rest of the job flow through nicely, I charge $200 (a cheap rate compared to have a tiler doing your work) then at $80 per hour thereafter, with tool hire available, if you require (to save those costly hiring fees from Hire Places)  plus Travel @$5 per/km from Tewantin or $3 per/km after 40km from Tewantin. 
I'll show you ...... the best glues and grouts to use for the application required
                  ...... where to put your silicone / expansion joints and how to apply a neat finish (tricks of the trade)
                  ...... if waterproofing is needed
                  ...... the best methods for making falls to waste pipes
                  ...... cutting of the type of tile to be used eg, porcelain or ceramic
                  ...... many other techniques that may have you concerned to get that top quality finish of YOUR home OUR home

What you can save ....
as a example for a basic ceramic tile wall or floor tile to be layed ....
eg ..... say your job is 50mt2 of floor area .... a tiler will charge from $2000-2750 + gst = $2200-3025 --- save up to $2785
     ..... say your job is 100mt2 of floor area .. a tiler will charge from $4000-5500 + gst = $4400-6050 --- save up to $5810
     ..... say your job is 50mt2 of wall area .... a tiler will charge from $3250-4000 + gst = $3575-4400 --- save up to $4160
     ..... say your job is 100mt2 of wall area .. a tiler will charge from $6500-8000 + gst = $7150-8800 --- save up to $8560
