But you may find that you get tired of making other people money and look good.

Possibly, but as long as I get on with and respect the person I'm working for, I'm happy to think that they're making money off me. After all, that's what they're paying me for!

Wow guys you would all be homeless working in Plymouth, top rate for subby climbing down here is £110-130 a day or one man and a chipper around £200 mark roughly. But I don’t know any subby that’s getting paid over the £130 mark

And here's me 2 years climbing and 4 on the ground wanting put my rate up from £120 to £140 a day.

He did, yet East Anglia isn't known for good pay considering the price of property.

 

You need to be at the top of your game to get good money around here.

I’m sure if I stayed in Northampton the price would be different again. But choose a nice part of the world to live in but not so great in the wage department. But still wouldn’t change it[emoji6]

If I started charging beyond what most climbers do then I'll be expected to take on all the difficult stuff. 

 

Thats a myth!

When I first moved down here I was traveling up near honiton for a guy which is a 50 mile trip each way, sometimes we have to do what we have to do and go where the work is
