Well, its my first dedicated year being a self employed bathroom installer amongst other things, not through choice, over the years being in tool hire, medical exports, owning a van hire business in the film and tv industry and having lost the lot, gone bankrupt, i had to turn my hands to something and so January of last year decided to go into home improvements! joined up to myhammer and mybuilder and progressed from little jobs like fitting loft hatches, hanging a door to progressing to the work you will see on my website. I have only ever really done this kind of work for myself, family and friends,over the 25 years of being a home owner, (now living in a 2 berth caravan !) all self taught, with a lot of help from the World Wide Web and forums such as these. I cant say I enjoy the work, as I always stress wether my standard is good enough,sometimes I feel i just want an easy life, get a drving job and not have to think too much, a cop out I know, and seeing what some of you guys do im in awe ! but at the moment its a necessity. So I thought id share my work via my videos on my website, the music is all tongue in cheek.

Nice bathrooms Ian, I'm thinking of doing bathrooms full time rather than being a general plumber. Nothing worse when your doing a big job and need to put the hours in and you keep having to leave early or come in late to call elsewhere.

Sometimes I have to just let the phone ring and let them leave a message.

No doubt said welcome a while ago so this biography is a nice little update!
Pleased your making progress but you have to enjoy the work you do to portray the confidence in the work you are undertaking for your customers.IMHO.
I'll have a look at your video when I find out how to plug in or wait for my son to download.
Good luck with the next 12 months.
