from a bloke called richard offering me work in portsmouth. brand new school But only paying £5.50 float and set now this sounds very tight to me . any 1 know the goin rate round there. I feel as though our trade is worth alot more than this i know things are tight at mo but i think he is a least £1 short maybe a bit more what you guys think

if he wants you that bad i reckon 7.50 -8 would pay a wage and 50 quid towards digs

well chris im not gonna pay you for the van im not sure how much the beer cost so i wont deduct it and it comes in at a grand total of £329.28 before tax :)
 
nice one flynny.... gonna be 2 days that...pretty much average.. 20 % obviously but its back on full on for the next month again having done the 'penalty clause panic' for the last week...
early finish tomorrow, just have the 4 walls and the hatch, makes up for today...
some of em are 5 x 3 make it back on the 'bond and set' cos some of the walls are all over the place and youve pretyy much gotta level the worktop edge and 450 above for the tilers....
so book the full wall, got the measure through, ticks over ok...
bathrooms are about 3x2 but its one set on the skimming and you pretty much book the lot for bond and set cos the ceilings used to be 2 ceilings (theres a wall come out in the middle and sometimes theyre artex etc) just make it happen innit.. cheers for the workout mate, my brain really aint up to it toinight... :D
 
Portsmouth is a big city about a hour from me . i know a few spreads who live local, and none of them would f&s for that money, thats why he is looking futrther a field.

Not saying you would not earn, just Pompy is a big city with a lot of redevelopment Most local spreads are making better dosh on domestic, so this guy is looking furter a field.Thats got to be 250 + miles from Pompy to Wigan.Mind you Lee, theres some dirty slappers down there, my cousin is 1 of them.
