im hoping so too....a local developer told me the banks are willing to discuss lending money for the 1st time for 4 years with him and also my fathers property viewing business is very busy again and houses are starting to shift again he said......lets hope we could see the back of this sooner than thought

 

[peteablard]

Mad busy still! It's been pushed back a few times but finally start an 1100 metre floor on Monday. Loads of other things on, all commercial and working ridiculous hours but not complaining

 

[Stewart]

No complaints here.........

 

[hillhead]

Strong here too, wondering how i'm going to actually get all done now.
I have a big house to start the week after next too.
I drove 120 miles today !!!

 

[Ian]

Going well, still booked into May and looking at a full house with 4 bathrooms next week for June/July.

 

[kendo1]

No problems, apart from fitting everything in. I've got work up until the end of May and some things in the pipoeline for after that.

FOC mate.....Mum has had cancer twice now and various organs removed. In good health though luckily, but want to treat her to a nice wetroom of her own :smilewinkgrin:

 

[bugs183]

Looking good then lads eh!!
I've been really fortunate and not stopped working through the whole recession, but as my old man (a tiler too) says don't keep your eggs in one basket, and because i'll work anywhere my basket spreads from london across the Midlands all the way to North Wales!
I not done decent commercial job for 3 years tho, and i was getting loads before that, so hoping that fires up again as love the challenge of big commercial areas.

 

[swanman]

Very busy

Jan, feb ,march okay work starting to come in

Start a 1200 metre floor next week

 

[d noulton]

best start to the year in six years up till june looking good if all work is comfirmed
so hopefully coming out of the big recession

 

[Andy Tiler]

Tons of work in manchester, gettin on top of me now though.:smart:.stressed:yikes:

 

[turnip]

been a busy 3 months with a few flat spots, havent had a single job that weve been able to complete without endless return visits and messing about, seems par for the course at the moment (all commercial jobs). Money is good (pre-recession earnings) but getting paid is hard work, I have accepted 60-90 days payment terms to be normal, and that is depressing!
