Rick Banuelos, Tile Setter and Foreman, 20 years
I’m a foreman on this job site. As foreman, you have a lot of responsibility and you have to deal with a lot of personalities, a lot of attitude, and a lot of testosterone. You have to remember who you’re dealing with or you will step on toes. Some guys you have to be firm with; other guys, if you do that they get upset and might even square up with you. You have to be able to manage everyone, and keep the job on schedule, and ensure quality work. I love it. But I like working with my hands as well. When I’m done with this job, I might set tile for a few weeks. I just love the feel of the tile going down and seeing a finished product.
