over the coarse of the year it has picked up dramatically,but a lot of people up here have noticed it slow down again in the last few weeks,probably got something to do with the elections and the impending emergency budget :mad2:

and people saving for holidays etc

 

[brian c]

not got any work at all at the moment but have some jobs to come off in a few weeks hopefully.

im hoping in the future to get in the swim with a landlord or local builder type.......be nice to have something regular , i doubt if it will be long before my next lean patch

 

[paulyoung666]

there is a huge new housing development near me starting to kick off , it has been on hold for at least 2 years , got to be good i reckon

 

[andy-p]

Ive been pretty busy all year , but taking nothing for granted , actual private work is slower but sub contract work for bathroom fitters/plumbers is steady..

things are picking up for me. still not doing full weeks but, 2-3 days a week. back of to france to work in a week or so. i'm still missing out on work due to other tilers putting in lower quotes. i have lowered my rates, but it seems they are not low enough! i can't see how some people make any money:mad2:

 

[redlee]

Gone very quiet for me in the last couple of weeks, not sounding good from the local bath showroom or conservatory firm either with people being laid off. All i've heard this year is people are holding off until the election/budget/world cup/holidays/this that and the other, should hopefully kick in about the end of November then? christmas rush here we come.:mad2:

That said i now have no excuse re sorting the website/accounts/painting around the house.

 

[brian c]

picked up a wee splashback for monday and a set of steps for later in the week.Dave cashflow has meant i have had to spend money on other things at the minute but i am considering the website option.After my hols in 3 weeks i am going to advertise again and try and get back to full time tiling as i am missing it but i have mouths to feed etc etc.:smilewinkgrin:
