This is the sad thing, the builder won't pay out for the expenses, If your fast, then go in around the 32.00 for the floors and 40 for the walls. But what do I know?!! :smilewinkgrin:
And if your that fast, pm me I got a big contract kicking of in December, and I need speedy tilers, as I want to turn this one out quick.

£32 pm that's £640 a day for you mr Tobin can I come 😉! Can't be for Kev at those prices!
The builder has already told me to include the diesel and said there is no conjustion charges and parking ect. but I think he's trying to save by saying I can stay in the house which I will if it's habitable. To be honest I think the job is pretty much mine as long I don't go to high. I was think of testing the water around 35 pm because to be honest I think that's what I've set my heart on, but I like your price better tony as long as people are prepare to pay you that then its happy days for you mate. Alright mat(bbb) How's it goin mate ye it'll be a good job if it comes off and I think it will I'll keep everyone informed on this one for all there help an ill post pictures of the job ( if it comes off like).
Alright fellas I said I'd give an update on this and here it is:
so I agreed a price with the builder £28 a metre and he was putting us up in a travel lodge which was a good deal for us. So with being from Liverpool and the job being in London i told my brother who works with me I'd pick him up 4-30am:yikes:. So pick him up gets about 1 and a half hours into the journey by keele service station and here's a thud and van starts to lose its power (you may of read me slagging my van off for always having something wrong with it every time someone posts "what van have you got" it's an 05 reg vivaro and its done 102,000 miles) so just manages to pull into the services which was lucky gets out the van and there loads of smoke coming out the exhaust. Head in my hands I was going sh** sh**sh** haha I phone the AA who said they would be 45 mins so goes and sits in the services has a cuppa till they come the man came said he couldn't fix it so he had to phone a recovery and tells me i had to upgrade my policey to get me home £145 :yikes:vehicle which takes another hour (more tea) and puts me on the back of his vehicle and takes me back to Liverpool to my mates garage, so 7 hours later after I set off I'm standing in my mates garage 2miles away from my house haha (I can laugh now) with him Telling me its the turbo and its gunna cost wait for it...... £400 ouch. I phones the builder who was already there in his van and he hired me a van to get there drop the van off and he'd drive us home with him on the Friday which was nice of him. But got the job 12 hours after I set off on my 4 hour journey and the job went great we finished Thursday night and set off Friday morning so home for dinnertime well in time to pick the kids up from school. Still having problem with the van tho had the turbo fixed and its still blowing a little bit of smoke out the back and chugging a little bit it's a nightmare honest they think it might be the injectors now ,time to get rid I think

Oh god no, once the injectors go on those, you're in big trouble, my mate has had nothing but trouble with his Vivaro, and just put a new engine in in the end. :mad2:
Your builder sounds like a fair kinda guy though.

Ye he is a nice fella to honest bugs, as for the van I'm sick throwing money at it this is the second turbo it's had ,alternater ,clutch, mass air flow ,egr valve, power steering pump, belts, thats all i can remember mate there's loads more, I've been on the phone to lookers for a new one well new ish 61plate 11,000 miles PX my van but they want £360 a month:yikes: for three years or £265 for 5years which I don't really want to be paying for that long but want something that still has manufactory warranty just to give me peace of mind

Sounds like the same list my mates had done.
Another mate of mine is a Vauxhall mechanic, his just groans when i mention Vivaro's 🙁
Mind you, there are other fella's who swear by them.
Hope you get a good deal matey!
