I worked on sites for years but as they more or less stopped i had to go into the domestic side since last year i have to say it is a lot different , the sites where to handy . i started with getting the van sign writed and some business cards and put the name in local paper ,done ok last year . i hope this year is a bit better than last, 3 or 4 days a week would do me if i got it. heres hopeing
