I am looking for a job now. I am not team-oriented. I am looking for jobs which I can work by myself. I think newspaper deliverers and truck drivers are examples of independent work. Can someone suggest some more independent jobs? Thanks.

Our house has a gas ducted heating system that a previous owner installed. There isn't a duct in the bathroom, but we noticed one under the house sitting there ready for it. Is there a way I can put that into the tiled floor of the bathroom? The main problem is doing it without having to retile the bathroom - can I cut existing tiles without pulling the whole lot up?. Alternatively, who do I need to pay to do this for me? A builder? A tiler?

My dream job is to be a career firefighter; the camaraderie, the respect, and the thrill make it seem like a fantastic job despite the low pay. However, I also want to have a decent sized house and an enjoyable, stress-free lifestyle. With all the downtime in the firehouse as well as the 24/48 or 48/96 hour shifts it seems I would have ample time to pursue my financial goals. I'm curious to know if it is possible to manage a business or to have another decent/well paying job on the side. Thanks for the input.

I'm taking over a tiling job that is half completed, in the shower the last tiler left a rubbery membrane that is loosely stapled to the lower walls and floor. I don't know if I'm to keep stapling through this stuff, or put "backer-board" on top of it (which would also include putting screw holes in it), or wheighing it down with tile (doubtful). Any advice, or tips on websites that have the answer would be much appreciated.

The tilers that I hired to do my hallway, in my living room, didn't finish the job. The customer service rep says he will finish the job, on his own time to make me happy. The tiles are paid for. 11 tiles, in a straight row, carpet is already removed. the last tile needs to be cut in half.
