There are days when I think I wish I had more work booked in, but then weeks like this make me glad I dont. Out the house 12 hours yesterday and 13 today. Vans front hub disintegrated on Friday, blokecsaid hed never seen one as bad. This cost me time on a 4 day bath out shower in job, next two days up at haswell ripping out a three year old worcester, then friday is a flushout before starting on a full heating/bathroom install for the next 6 days. Plus my list of 'its not important but when you have a chance can you.........' is getting longer. After that I have a customer wanting bathroom, cloakroom and kitchen sink. But spec. Not decided yet.

Roll on February, its always quieter 🙂

i would have committed suicide by then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but as they say....

I've got to be honest, I'm so booked up with work, that I've decided to not even price certain jobs. One of them I really wanted as it was state of the art everything, full install on new build with 5 bathrooms. But I don't have the time to price it.

I have a couple of bathrooms, a couple of boilers, a list of just jobs, a couple of thermal stores, one on solid fuel, and I'm meeting a customer on Saturday morning to finalise a load of work I priced up last year.

So it's not hard to get a month booked up...it is stressful though and I work 6 days a week, long days.

I've decided I want a bigger house, and the only way I'm going to manage that is to work my arse off. That's the long and short of it. I don't want a mansion, but a bedroom each for my kids. So I need a four bedroom house not three.

The other thing is, I like a few days rest, but after that I get bored and want to go fix/install something and get my hands dirty!

I have been manic since start of december, which is why I have not been on here in a while.
Just got four new builds confirmed, starting end of april. Getting subbies in for that one, plus the commercial side has gone off like a rocket.

had three days of this week to do my acs, which was like a breath of fresh air.

Not complaining, just nice to have a few days here and there to catch up with paperwork etc.
