Bags beads done first
each room upstairs skim in 1 hit (ceilings and walls)
sort water n scrim for next room inbetween.
downstairs easier to skim all cieling in 1 hit easier as more open space.
skim each room in a hit pulling in any cupbaords in between.
scrape up between hits.
sweep house out jump into next plot...and then your house has been bashed hahaha.

Subbies dont control payment housing firms and contractors do .....they pay me I dont pay them.

So you was doing 666m2 a week on your own?
Who was the house for in Skipton ?
Yea we don't do staircases either
Working at sub 3 quid,, all your doing is making the contractor a lot of money.
Build your cashflow up and increase your contacts and cut the middleman out and tackle the projects yourself direct, the developers are business men, if you can compete with the contractor on price, give the developer the option on choosing you.

I was skimming keepmoat homes mp finish it was £48 grand @2
Redrow and forest homes were £1.80.
I just averaged it out.
Most lads I knew wernt working ....just had my 2nd child was worried about being out of work so I just hammered it.
This was on top of nearly travelling 3 hours a day.
Roughly £600 for the smalller houses ...2 a week.
£900 for 3 story 1.5 a week
Retention and not great jobs might be a reason he's always looking for lads

These lads that are talking about well over 100m2 a day, yes they are trapping on but what time do they leave home?
On site at 7?
What time do the get up?
What time do they get home?
How many hours a week is that?
Getting up at half 5 is just for owls and burglars IMO.

It's all good smashing loads on and earning as much as possible but you won't be doing that forever, it will have lasting effects on your body and I'm sure you'll be retiring before the people who put on less.
Work clever not hard.

Damn right JGreen, have an uncle fit as a flea still doing small bits and bobs at seventy, always used a 12" trowell reckoned every inch bigger was worth five years at end of life, always tells me "never be a busy fool" life is for much more than struggling to catch monster gauges to keep subbies in brand new 4x4s.
