Depends. As a rule rural.

However we've picked up a decent wedge of  work this year on London and the rate of pay can be phenomenal.

Medium to large rural jobs do it for us.

I like working rural, pleasant surroundings beautiful views. Estates make the most money and seem a more reliable source of income for me.

I prefer my rural work, as I love the tranquility of working in peace and quiet with stunning views.

Only trouble with my rural work is, I can only carry 400ltrs of water, so can't get a full day's work done without a long round trip to fill up.

Not a lot of point now Alan, as most of my work is now in the hands of the other guys. I do go to Lambourn every other month though and it would be nice to do a full day without worrying about running out of water.

It won't be rolling in quick enough for the next two or three months as I start to fill out after taking on another employee. It's amazing how quickly you seem to catch up when you take another one on. I'll be desperately seeking fascia and gutter jobs in the short term.

I know that is why I said it  ;D ;D

Anyhow I don't have 5-6 vans on the road so Lance must be doing something right. Just imagine the reaction he would get if all six vans turned up for a single large job. How impressive would that be? Mind 5 of them including Lance would be doing bugger all exept drooling at the stable girls execpt for the female of his crew doing all the work  :D
