Starting times

[enduro]

What time do you guys start work, i like to be on site 7.30 domestic and commercial...as i like to be finished at 4.30. Some customers dont really like my early starts but time is money, not my fault there lazy :yawn: and cant get out of bed.

start around 9.15 am onwards upto 10am finish around 5 latest 6pm

My jobs r usually small ones so the finish time varies as always have to go back next day to grout

7.30am - 8.00am on site work but 8am - 8.30am on private unless arranged by client to be different. Finish when i finish.

9.00am coz I'm a lazy ****.

Finish.........whenever.......never before 4.30

Usually around 5.30-6pm

start at 8 normally done by 3. dont work long hours or may as well go back to working for someone. i work full days if on day rate but very rarely do that.

Try to start around 8.00am and work till what ever time

 

[Grace'sDad]

8.00 to 9.00 start (domestics) and finish around 5-6pm

But don't you think the best thing about being self-employed is being able to simply pack up and go once you're done?

I love it!

If I get finished early or get chance to start late then I take my daughter to school / pick her up. Something I never had chance to do before tiling.

Or if you have had a crap day..............pack up and bog off home :yes:

 

[brummie tiler]

I try and start at 8 but always ends up closer to 9. Who invented the snooze button!!!:yawn:

 

[IvegotsTILE]

8 on site,9 domestics.
Have my boy stay with me on monday and wednesday night so take him to school the next day,best thing about being self employed.
The nights I have work till 6 the latest,any other day till I'm finished.

I just finished about 12,000 sq ft in a luxury condo,being a bit of a mental case I found myself going in about 3a.m and going till 7or 8,in a week I would would work 2-3 ,18hr days,the rest being 12-16 hrs,major overkill but the money was good and I just threw everything at er,took me 5 months but I:mad2: nailed it,trying to take it a bit easy now but the calls keep coming,wife wants me to take 3 months off,but I'm a setter,gotta set.

normaly around 1-2 in the afternoon after my post round, people dont seem to mind aslong as the end result is the same

 

[chris.tiling]

depends on how far the job is from home. Very local ones I start at 8.30, but if i have to get to the other side of Bournemouth (only 6 miles, but an hour in rush hour) I leave at 8.45 and start at 9.30. Finish when I have done what I needed to for the day so anytime from 4.30 to 7 if last week was anything to go by!

You lazy lot...if i have a hour drive i will still be on site at 7.30, thats why im so rich :lol:
