sorry to hear that paul i wish you the very best in what you do,i would build it up and employe people to do the work for you.dont just stop at houses maybe look into comercial ,it isnt hard to get into the rewards are good i have a lot of family members work for me 3 of my sons work for me but my nephew is the foreman ,my way works exelent for me,you can be as big as you want to be the bigger it gets the easier it gets i employ 10 full time and i have 7 sub contractors who do work which is out of our area ,we have started some office cleaning which has just occured we dont advertise that we do it but we now have 7 office premises that we clean.my lads clean in the morning and them go on to the window cleaning it is payed as overtime and all of this has been achived without a great deal of effort from me so i feel with your current status it would be worth your while you will never know if you dont try best wishes for the future kev twc
