The work is the easy bit, its quoting, sometimes at 8 at night or weekends, then the quiet times, the worry of where the next jobs gonna come from, the tax man, overly fussy customers, will they pay you on time or at all, it aint all roses mate as im sure you're aware.
Then there's the van, tools, liabilty insurance, van expenses / maintenance, cash flow.

Think long and hard about things before committing.
Another way to look at things about subbing trades out, most other trades will do the job faster than you because they do it day in day out, you could do what you're good at and earn more money doing that while they do the job faster and have all the responsibility to finish it.
Its all about time management, your time is worth x amiount, but if your earning half that doing a job that a subby could do twice as quick, you have in effect lost half money, whereas you could subby it out and make a bit on top for doing nowt, like i do

Just cheaper and less hassle to sub it out, lets you concentrate on other things.
Its impossible to be self contained and be efficient imo.

its all be counted for, even down to what do do in a lull

Best of luck anyway mate, determination goes a long way in business, if you have that, you're half way there.
Too many trades up here, not enough work me thinks, probably better down your end.

So that's what...2 posts about the actual bird topic in a thread of 22?

Hehe, anyway WB, has the bird stayed out now?
