don't matter where they learnt to plaster... on site, apprentice, course or even youtube videos. As long as they can plaster and get a good finish then i'd happily pay them. I actually learnt on a course. I have been plastering for 10 years and have run a sucsessfull plastering business for 8...

Doesnt look very speedy

found this, dunno if it can be used on a battery drill, might need a chuck attachment YouTube - Introduction to Quik Drive® Auto-Feed Screw Driving Systems

Is there an attachment you can get that just fits any 18v battery drill? Had my makita 18v autofeed screwgun nicked from my van a while ago and have been using the drill and a hanfull of screws and its painfully slow. Dont wana spend another £300 odd on another makita at the moment. See...

lol, but did you really think your boIIox were airy.

If you didnt charge it, and lived down here, youd just be ripping yourself off. How you can say its a rip off is beyond me. You are a spread, so surley you should want to earn as much as possible. Why limit your own earning potential? I think your seriously undervaluing your own ability...

quickbooks pro 2010... try kick ass torrents

...................I live and work in Surrey, but work in London too as its 12 miles up the A3.

£500 minimum,. I have charged £700 before. Ive charged 250 just for a lid. £80.00....? after materials fuel and tax whats left? wouldnt get outta bed for that.

I work in london and charge anywhere from £150.00 to £250.00 per day per man depending on the job. Plastering is hard, so you have to charge accordingly. After tax and overheads, you want to be taking home a half decent wage for the ammount of effort it took to earn it. When I hear about...

can type it in 3 mins on quickbooks.

been using word for years mate, so long winded. I come home most nights and type quotes on word and its a bt of a drawn out process even though I have a template setup etc... a decent invoicing programme is the way forward. Once set up correctly, after a month or so of using it, it remembers...

Nice one, this works well. I just leave them all as zero. have an item called 'total' and edit it according to the job. So when it calculates it all, it will only have one figure to go by, so the actuall total will be correct. Sorted, thanks.

Thats what I want to do, just enter the total for an invoice or estimate, but still have a list of services that it stores that I can just click on rather than type every time. Not sure if quickbooks or any other accounting type programme allows this. Luckily I didnt pay, just downloaded a...
