    Well we were either lucky enough to be able to get another job, or we ended up out of work.

    still hard to get someone decent !! painter told me i will be waiting 4 weeks cos he is painting a hotel at mo. Had a great tile man, sister rang him up and he too is in the middle of a big job. My mate is a builder ( father and son job ) out the door with work !! so much so, he does his nixers on saturdays !!

    As for myself, not handy at all, I let the prof's do everything for me :D

    A good Tradesman is never out of work to long, most will have a good client base. To keep them ticking over...With the odd DIY Disaster to sort out as well....:)
