had the joy of working on council referb work recently what an eye opener how they get away with it never met so many idiots in short space
 
i use to subby for the council many moons ago.
they arnt overworked them boys, we did about 15 metre of skiminng a day start at half 8 finish at half 3, they told us to slow down as we were showing up the council lads.
 
I did it my self years ago through a builder he would give us a job sheet for the week but we would do all the jobs in 2 days plus when you went to the houses the greeting was never friendly usually on the lines of "I have been waiting for this to be be done for 2 f**king years" And no amount of telling them you dont work for the council helped, I know I dont miss that work thats for sure.
 
Tell me about it!, i'm a subby and i just started a bit for these builders that do insurance work. The work took me 2 days and some how i saw a sheet of paper left on the job that had their price for the plastering.

Lets just say they made nearly double i did! Yet if you ask for more money all you get is "i don't know mate, i'm barely making it pay as it is" followed by them leaving you in a cloud of dust as they raw off in their range rovers.
Tossers lol!

Ditto on the customer complaints too, this old girl gave me a ticking off for being '4 months late'. Thanks for that luv!
 
whats the best way of getting on these council jobs, i would'nt mind a go of it myself. work is work after all.
