the word 'diversify' was mentioned not long ago...
still on a full house refurb, start the downstairs render next week, got the full set, really wobbly walls, crumbling render, damp problems, pretreatment of damp still embedded in plaster (dunno wot but its causin me bleedin nightmares), dodgy diy patch ups...
this is quite a large project never mind the plasterin and its the couples first go!!
might just find myself with some other stuff like roof repairs, joinery, anything i get offered really...ordinarily id knock it back but with things bein as they are...took 1 call all week, over skim 18m ceiling and re artex to unspecified pattern, told em 300 quid, not rang back...
bet someone else does it for 200....
only reason i do this in the first place is that it pays well if you put the graft in, i aint gonna work like a donkey for peanuts (or whatever they feed donkeys)
if im gonna be earnin less id sooner do less work for it, so i aint gonna be gettin into no price wars...
actually thought about goin back into the window game, but just conservatories, people are still rippin the arse out of that at the mo, 10-15 grand for a 3x4 victorian, if you know what your about you can put one up nice job for about 3...these 'guarantees' people are offerin are a load of old balls, unless you're insurance backed it aint worth shite...anyone can offer a 'guarantee' and go pop next week...
money went out of 'windows' years ago cos every man and his dog was a 'window fitter'...conservatories need 'builders'...still a year or two left before thats gone too....
might just go knockin...'ello dere missus, we got a few windows and a pile o'bricks left over from a job down da road, were just seein if anyone wants a conservatory...only be around 7 grand, can be done in a week...'
