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.

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!

I've just started back out on my own after being made redundant at the start of the year. Wasn't prepared for going back out on my own just yet but have picked up my 3rd job of the year and starting it Monday morning. I haven't stuck an advert out yet, it's just been a bit of word of mouth.
Anyway, reason for my post really was i should get finished at the job i'm on at the moment tomorrow or Thursday. Was thining of putting it in on JOTM and was wondering when it opens for posting? It's only a small bathroom refurb and nowhere near as glamarous as some of the woek i've seen here but i'm interested in just getting opinions if nothing more.
