My tuppence is that once your away from the sites its very hard to go back.
You only remember the bad times Plus your older and not as fit and you know what you have to do to make a decent weeks wage.
Your only as good as your last job , plenty of young lads with families have the motivation and need to churn out the work.
Domestics work for me but do a lot of small work for builders and other part time jobs so dont need the constant work.
Havent had a day off in weeks but i dont mind that , im my own boss and if im knackered i have an easy day.
Dont like starting before 9am , traffic is crap and mostly because families are getting kids ready etc , i prefer to wait to all thats finished. Last week client moved out so on the job at 7am missing traffic and getting home for 3.
Small builders are good to work for too , they just call you and say its a couple of days work and you go do it and get paid , no pricing or messing around.
Reckon id be happy on the sites if id of stayed on them , be working for quality firms and looked after.
Plastering is a great trade if you respect yourself and your clients , always been good to me but my time on sites is over and im enjoying doing what i am now
