It’s gone from being a business  with no expenses to one with daily ones lol, if you purchased scrims and rubbers etc in bulk the only thing I’d pop in the shop for was a bottle of fairy now and again.

The 2 worst things about the job have been virtually eliminated....climbing ladders and collecting.

The overheads are higher but so are the earnings....

The potential to earn extra money with existing equipment has also risen(conny roofs,plastics and solar panels)....

Round software has also been a game changer for me in regards to organizing my work,keeping track of debts and general records/book keeping.
price higher/work harder!

Modded for language.

It's a game of three halves!
