I don't let the low wages bother me, I like working there and I live very frugally. I think a frugal life gives you freedom

The more you earn the more they expect from you

It was good. I'd remodeled about 29 dilapidated houses and could do anything
People like to call one , reliable worker

@The Modern Conservative must have took a break today

I'm in a similar business Lloyd

Things are booming over here for tradesmen but only because people couldn't go on holiday because of Covid so they're spending on their houses

Lots of freedom and meet lots of interesting people

Yep, I couldn't be employed ever again. I'm lucky my dad taught me a trade

I only work for private customers, no site work, no way

lol Clare

I tell my boys, they can't import trades

Sorry I'm reading and appreciating as you all chat.

Definitely

I figure it like this anyway, if they put up the minimum wage all that will happen is prices will go up, supply and demand

Self employment is the way to be

Well they can, alot of Polish builders came over here undercutting all the british builders but that's mainly in the cities

Nothing against the Polish, they're good people generally

Yeah they are

Ever watch The Repair Shop? beautiful craftsmen, old trades being kept alive

Yes I've seen that

I love working with wood

Lol

Restoration etc, french polishing

Oh dear, lads, my God you were quick on that. Wash your minds out with soap

😂

There's always a sucker out there...
Sure I'll haul your skyscraper across country and I'll pay YOU to haul YOUR stuff just for the privilege.

If you are happy to haul liquids there is money in that Phil

big money, at least in the UK

After a few years, I was 90% working for wealthy families, they'd practically adopt me ... give neat stuff to my kids

@JP... specialty freight only $4+ a mile ONLY

We did three live streams today and been editing some videos. But that’s why we made this chat.... for YOU GUYS 🤪💪🏽

Yep, I've had repeat customers, when they've lived house and then they recommend me etc etc

*moved house

I've got 3 French pieces I'm working on at the moment but they've taken a back seat atm 👍

Ohh I'm jealous. I love to have a project to have especially during holidays. I've built up a nice amount of equipment for restoring. Relaxing and beautiful to see a piece restored to its glory
