A new chapter

[gand]

After 20 years in the job, I'm changing my career. Instead of climbing and using saws, I'll be selling them and fixing them. Looking forward to it. Starting Monday, so will see how it goes

[Steve Bullman]

Good luck! What made you quit, age?

[gand]

Loads of things. I'm 37 so still very able to the job, but been fed up of feast or famine. Also got another kid on the way, so want something steady. It's my local dealer so already know the lads.

[Steve Bullman]

Still good to get out before you havent wrecked yourself. Congrats on the new one coming

 

[gand]

Cheers Steve. Definitely a good time. Knackered my body when I was young and foolish! Looking forward to it, they'll have someone who's actually used the stuff they sell. Hopefully I'll be sorting all the climbing equipment

All the very best of luck Gand on your new venture it’s never an easy decision to make especially when you have a family.

when you say selling and repair is it for yourself or working for someone’s? Will you still do the odd job for yourself weekend etc?concrats with the addition on the way.?

[gand]

Cheers. It's for my local dealer. Only a mile or so from home. I'll still be doing the odd job here and there on the weekends.

Well that's it. I'm done. Been a good week, with a few decent trees and a fencing job. Going to miss it, but I reckon I've made the right decision.

You have; your earlier posts say that.  Now just make it work!

 

All the best.
