what a post
so now it seems that ewan isnt the success he has lead us to belive
year 2 i was stacked out with work, i bought the work from a guy who was retiring and a guy who was going back home to oz, infact i was at that point after about 6 months, the prices are good enough, was i lucky or just plain lazy ( to be in the right place at the right time ) ive since filled in the rounds, put flyers / said good morning to the houses in the spaces of the houses i didnt do on the street i did
im not sure why i get the sly digs off you as from where im sat with my well paid, compact round, ive done ok
my turning point was at 10.00 the day i started as a favour to my mother in law's partener, he had broke his arm and leg on a skateboard, i was still doing carpentry, i had a kitchen to fit that week, i fitted that and then helped him out as he was concearned he would lose his work, i was just going to help him out and then when he was back to fittness i would wave goodbuy and get on with my carpentry work, we started at about 9 ish and i allways stopped in the building for a 10.00 break ( along with lunch at 1 and a cuppa at 3 ) i had cleaned 1 house in about 45 mins ( trad work ), not bad to be honest, 10 quid in 45 mins trad, considering i had never done it before even if i say so myself
anyways, 10.00 came i stopped, i thought to myself, what a stress free job, next house the ladder slipped on me ( on a slab ) and that was it, i got a canvas tool bag and filled it with sand, it was allways my " foot "
so i guess my turning point was at 10.00 that first day, i decided i might like this, that same week i bumped into a guy who was planning to retire, job done, i had 3/4 of a round, it was established since the houses were built in the 60's, passed on from 1 guy to the next who i got it off
tools, poles, cars, vans, brushs, they are just tools of the game, i would like to say that another turning point was my RT Zen-flex, its certainly made my life alot easier, not sure a turning point, but certainly a plus point
