Get yourself on all the website and in with agencies then just keep hammering away u till you get an opportunity... There's gonna be a load of people applying for the same position so just stick at it and something will come up.
 
Dude I know the feeling... I was driving trucks after coming out of the army I was working 60+ hours a week starting at 4am not getting home till after 7pm most days it's wank anyone that enjoys it genuinely has a massive screw loose!! I was very lucky in the fact that my in law is a spread and got me on the firm his with... Best way to get on with a decent firm is to find someone that you can jump on with crash a few houses on then go from there once your in its easy
 
I would just saying!

Did the lab throw the trowel or have a trowel throw at him?
Either way there would be a parting of ways in my opinion

@Tinytom threw the trowel. Found it dirty in the back of the van.

Must be honest, if you're into the multitrading side of things, finding a man to work with is a f**k**g nightmare.

I believe very strongly in never falling out over work but the amount of men who come and go is shocking. I suppose the good ones end up doing it for themselves soon enough

I found out the hard way when trying to put a bunch of lads together, anyone decent is doing it for themselves already

When I left the army an ex army mate offered me a job. We'd worked together for his old man before I joined up, building houses and extensions.

All the trades laughed. Asked how long I was going to last. Turned out the average was about a month. Some men only a day though.

I was with him for 3 years then we had some sort of fight.

f**k am I doing digging holes for that prick for £9 hr I thought and off I went. Still at it today and now it's me that can't get a man.

I've got 7 f**k**g apartments to renovate now and I can't even find a man I can trust to paint

Did your lab not survive the trowel throwing incident?

Yeah I’m over it now we’ve kissed and made up, I cut that old trowel down so got a perfectly bedded in midget trowel and I’m getting on well with my new Marshalltown so worked out ok in the end

It’s a great trade buddy, you can’t make good money on the weekends driving trucks, I’m from Birmingham but willing to drive out a bit.

Not as wank as driving.

If you 10 hrs Mon to fri it's about £550 a week

Goes up to about £800 if you want to do nights and weekends and live at the services.

Can get that and be home by half past four on the tools.
