Works unusually quiet at the moment, got a few things in the pipeline, but not a lot. Anyone needing a Paving gang/landscapers/grafters? I've all me own kit and transport, and will travel. I can be solo or as a gang(this is sounding like one of those adds in Bargain Pages!!), just need a bit till the work picks up.

Yep, dead till the new year up in Manchester too!
Wouldnt have minded another 2 weeks tbh.
Thats what happens when working for the public, who would want the builders in right before xmas!!

Actually got a paving job between now and xmas.
Makes a helluva change.
I've been doing all kinds of things lately. Painting, joinery, making gates etc.
Now is not the time to be a one trick pony.

Got some indoor work, laying laminate flooring this week.
Got 2 people wanting decking done too, other than that I'm running about like a blue arsed fly delivering gas.

Unusual for trades to be so honest, normally people spin a yarn because it never looks good to tell people you arent busy, but why bullshit?

I know a few boys who will always say their booked up till the next century, and there's a few I know who have a bit still on, but it's barren here, my Phone got cobwebs on it. I'm currently looking at a bit of security Planting for a decidedly dodgy Muslim Cleric, Re-pointing a 250m2 Patio, and a possible small Garden Project, if the weather holds and if he can make his mind up. Looks like I'll be getting the Bathroom finished and my paper work in order, Jeeez!!:rock: Next years looking distinctly chilly!!
