It just means they are faster, neater, less waste, more efficient etc...
A basic tiling job in a bathroom, buy yourself a wet tile saw for $99, grout squeegie, all the trims and whatever else you need.
You got a few tricky bits, around the toilet, sink, drain and windows. Who cares if it takes 3 times as long and you fuck up 20 tiles.
The rest of it is surface prep the sticking squares down, they even have little X spacers to keep you right
I hear you on the Tafe but there's a good buzz by winging it on your own.
