    Going to be nvq2 but still not allowed to DIY at home?

    Oh dear.... another DIYer

    To be honest I cant see how that works being Employed & Self-employed at the same time, as the extra tax they would pay the work would not be worth doing, So to be fair if not paying tax on extra part time income , then they are-not fully legit.

    Oh dear.... another DIYer

    But what about the Tax ? don't forget these guys have a good income to start off, so they are doing jobs for cash on their days off and undercutting everyone else, thought it was in their contracts that they cant do private work, but could be wrong about that !

    Oh dear.... another DIYer

    Police / Fire / Ambulance crew all of them do jobs on the side, I knew of a police man that used to do gas work, think firemen or the biggest offenders due to the amount of free time they seem to get, + they are on over 30K pay.

    planning DIY plumbing next weekend,

    Loving this idea even more, I can just see all the money rolling in, Do you think we need an investor off Dragons Den ? Think Peter Jones would be best bet.

    planning DIY plumbing next weekend,

    What a excellent idea with the video link, we could make a charge for it and never have to leave home to earn a living, they could even do own heating repairs, but that would cost a little extra, We could even go Global & earn a fortune.
