[Hoddo]

Like to start at 8 or before, start to lose motivation if I'm standing around waiting for sparkys to do wiring or similar

Very true

Empty properties i like to start around 7am especially in the summer months. Occupied properties more like 8am because customers dont like you turning up too early etc. Always prefer to start early then leave early so you get to spendtime with your family or do your hobbies or pub??

 

[Basher]

Won't be finishing until late now the joys
