How is work going..? (update)...

[Del W]

Not fantastic,a few estimates in.one of them also includes painting & wood panelling aswell as tiling.Have done painting in the past but prefer to tile all the time,but with everyone doing other peoples trades its getting harder all the time.

 

[doug boardley]

still very slow here, got a 100 metre sandstone flagging job to start next week, weather permitting

 

[widler]

plenty of plastering for the lads,1 bathroom to do before next friday,im off up loch fyne diving for 4 days then a load more plastering and a bathroom and kitchen to tile.
ive been ok since the start of the new year,not broke any records,as long as the lads are working i don't mind having a day off now and again to,erm,clean the house(kill some kids on COD,xbox )

 

[Andy Allen]

started off quite, then got busy, and now its quite again.....got a couple of days next week, thats it, all trades are really quite round here, even the site guys can't string a full week together...

 

[John Benton]

Hardly had a day off since last September apart from a week at Xmas but it's really slowed down. Got quotes out there but no-one committing as yet

 

[peteablard]

Still really busy here. Just finished off one of the supermarkets we started earlier this year and now have a couple of days to chill out before the chaos starts. 200m floor starting Sunday, 1100m floor starts at the end of the week along with a 400, 500, And a few other floors ranging from 200-300 metres. Obviously this all commercial stuff, have slotted a few domestic jobs in but normally price myself out with them as too busy. Been very very lucky to get in with a decent company who give me as much work as I can handle so generally stick with them.

Flat out my way........busiest Jan/Feb/March I have had since I started out.

Recession.............Wot recession.

Rammed at the minute,working 7 days a week and till 8 at night regulary. Got home at 8 on valentines and the missus went mental after cooking a great meal and baking a cake which ended up in the cat.Had to take a day off today for the girlfriends birthday and buy her an ipad just to get back in her good books.
Never had so much work on,alot of new contacts through recommondations. Very busy but loving it.
Me and bri seem to be the only busy ones in our town,a few busy plumbers but most trades dont have a lot on.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

:lol: I had to do a double take on that, I thought you were saying "the mrs went mad at me getting home at 8pm on Valentine's" and then "I had to take a day off, for the girlfriends birthday" now I see, one and the same.

 

[prceramics]

It sure is, I could give you a health and safety speech on PPE but, I'd be the biggest hypocrite on earth! Hope you can get back on the tools soon.
