The belly is coming on great (getting fatter) and I'm getting a bit pssd off giving work away
Hope to go back next week sometime, unless the wind drops off, cos then I'll do a bit of fishing

 

[JCplumb]

Pretty busy here too, passing jobs on to other plumbers cos I can't fit them all in. Infact this thread just reminded me to pause my adwords to slow the phone calls down a bit.

What IS the "right rate"?

 

[hammers4spanner]

What IS the "right rate"?

About 100 k a year

Cautious to be excited yet but its been steadily busy since September, just about every customer I speak to say they've been turned down by another plumber. It's my first year I was prepared for the worst, no idea if this is just how it always was or just more work about these days.

Can't really attribute it to myself since as I say people go for me after being let down and I've done some pretty sweet jobs that others didnt want for some reason plus customers r easily impressed when theyve been let down.
