thanks
im not new to building work
Hi
Flyn
My old man was a builder/ plaster/ chippy/ artist he worked all is life never on the Dole even when times were bad he died when i was 21.
I used to work from the age of 12-21 as a milkman as teen earning pocket money 3.30am to 8.00am the go to school after until leaving age.
from the age of 13 i used to labour for the old man on various jobs mixing muck carrying 3 block's a time up a two story extension in my summer holidays ( mostly he did brick work)
After the age of 21 i moved in to the car sales including soul trader of my own cars.
places iv worked since leaving school
DPM webbing (making army kit) (pyle, kenfig hill )
Laleston cars (A48 Laleston, Bridgend)
Cefn car sales (cefn Cribwr, Bridgend)
Meastag car sales
Just cars (Bridgend)
World of cars ( A48 Bridgend)
soul car trader up until my first child born 2000, but held it down until 2004 until when my driver (partner, best friend) got a drunk driving conviction.
I spent time looking after the children as the Girlfriend had a stable job as a manageress of a local petrol station and was adamant she was going to carry on (20 years working for Texico , know known as petrol Express)
Why do i want to get in to this Trade? something I think i could be good at I have an eye to detail growing up around cars and working on them to get them to show room condition (not as easy as it sounds!) a blemish of polish is not satisfactory also my right arm is used to T-cut and polishing all day 8 hours a day I have strong shoulders from years of wax on wax off lol.
I am mot afraid of pick and shovel work and most importantly I want to get off my arse and get out of this slump! I could excellent references since I stared work with some of these lads since I was 21 as an apprentice in the auto trade.
most of my work as been cash in hand loads of other things I'v done built walls for family, friends, neighbors (not the best ,but tried everyone is happy I did it for free)
My bad points =
My spelling is and punctuation **** (as you can tell)
My hand writing is that of my 12 year old son
Then again if I had the above qualities I'd want to hold a pen not a float.
