I was doing this a lot but ended up telling fitters price would be double what it would be if kitchen was out, not done one in a long time now...

I find its usually older customers it happens to, the fitters are in and out not caring what the finish of the kitchen is like and the customers dont know any better. I feel quite sorry for them as its not there fault, but you've got to charge extra for protecting the new units and how awkward the job is.
 
looking forward to a 4 hour induction in the morning :rolleyes):RpS_cursing: then for the rest of the week its either carry on with new office block or have a change and do some drilling for the week,, the drilling is just holes in outside wall for cladding and the bloke is paying double what plasterers get,, no skill what so ever,, something wrong there when unskilled blokes can earn much more than spreads

that just about sums it up.i have just seen an agency advert for ewi £9.50 per hour. plastering with a csc card £10 per hour this is in london.
i was talking to a young girl the other day see earns £10 per hour stacking shelves in the evenings at morrisons. years ago plastering was a good job and if you where stupid you got a job in a supermarket. the times they are achangin.

Van passed MOT with honours. Not a single advisory.

I forgot to stick a piccy up a few weeks ago. I had a post about van magnets or signs. I went with the magnets in the end mainly for future van resale reasons and also I do some work for another venetian company and they dont want me advertising while working with them
