Forget the Money per hour. He priced jobs high, only does 2-3 days and based on what he’s charged for those jobs he pockets about 700 a week. I get how you’re breaking it down and it’s technically right. But the jobs he chooses are high earners for people who are willing to pay for quality.
I wouldn't bother explaining it he still won't get it
 
First post you said you onlworked 5 6 hours that 11 hours 700 pounds so that about 55pound hour. So if I charge 55 hour 5 6 days a week a normal working week 8 hours a day I'd be not far from 100 thousand a year
No one's saying that you can fill a full years work with those sort of jobs. He's ONLY doing the jobs that pay well.
 
OK if you say so
When you've been grafting 6 days a week for what you think is decent money this is actually quite hard to get your head around. I was charging £200 a day a year ago, then thought I'd chance my arm and raise it to £250, and since lockdown have been quoting £300. I've gone from working 5 days a week for £1000 to 3 days a week for £900, and I'm still turning away work, could earn £1500 a week if I wanted or up my day rate further but I'm happy I've found a happy medium. You're working 6 days, not seeing your family as much all because you won't just wack an extra £100 on your day rate

Some businesses thrive some businesses average some struggle it's that f****** simple

Genuinley...I've lost the knack...I need to go back to old school basics and start back at beginning with 2 proper coats from separate mixes.

I just cant ever be arsed to mix up again so blast it 1 coat on board at best same mix laid back in and either I've become shite or I just cant make it work anymore.

Just cant face adding extra couple of hours to each day with fresh mixes.

Think I need to pack tools up and become a lolly pop man!
