Well a song popped up the other day on te radio, nickleback-rockstar. And it was number 1 around this time 10 years ago!
10 years ago I was living with my mum spent all my time on my BMX, or in the garage ripping apart motocross bikes and re building them, tuning up my moped hanging about with the boys, blaring out drum and bass, I was knocking off girls and shagging my now misses off and on. MINT!
Absolutely hate that song but it was number one when I started working for my almost original boss. Before that I spent about 5/6 months labouring for my neighbour doing damp work, catching and fetching buckets mixing up etc.
Was with my old boss for almost 6 years and he told me everything I know, we all say it but genuinely he was the best spread I ever knew, skimming, rendering, lime work etc was the best. We done a lot of general building too, knock throughs, extensions renovations etc.
Enjoyed the work and always did but the money wasn't there couldn't win the "I need more money argument" so unfortunately had to move on and work for his mate who kept me afloat with plenty of work and a little more money, also he allowed me on the trowel properly allowing me to have a proper go at it. Done 3/4 years with him non stop and during that time managed to get friendly with a few other people and got some of my own work.
I left him in september as I was getting loads of work thrown at me and felt bad taking his time to do my own stuff so properly went self employed in January and now im running myself, still worry about work but obviously that comes with it gotta get out there I suppose!
As I stand now I'm sat in my 3 bedroom house, 2 dogs, my misses, a 5 year old, a 6 week old, van on the drive and a couple of cheap Suzuki 4x4s that I play with when I can. Obviously nothing special of course and by no means am I blagging ! Its just mad how things change!
