Working Sundays

[Big J]

I didn't work this Sunday, but really only because I had family visiting. I did have a chap wanting to come over for timber, but I had to ask him to come through the week.

 

I must admit that I'm really starting to struggle with my workload - did around 65 hours last week. I think it's going to come to a point pretty quickly where I have to decide what it is I want to do and pass on the rest!

we're at that point now big j.

 

i'm averaging 90hrs a week atm and this is supposedly our quiet time !!!!!

 

starting a pressure job on wednesday, some turfing and fencing on a new ASDA, GOT to be finished by Sunday evening or £5k a week (or part thereof) penalty clauses !!!!!!!!

 

the following weekend we're dismantling a large Yew in a doctors carpark, again got to be done on a Sunday when they're closed.

 

As above, i always take at least a day off the week after and take the wife somewhere and spoil her, making sure the customer pays heavily for it....

Saturdays are a no go for me unless I'm really desperate for the money or the job has to be done for a good client.But, I dont think I have ever worked on a Sunday. Well no climbing or cutting, paper work and maintenance for the next day but only when it really has to be done.

 

Tbh I dont know how a lot of you work so many days ie every Sat etc, although I am just a right lazy git when I want to be.

 

Good stuff if you enjoy it though.

I know mate, when i was working for myself i at times had to work 7 days a week to get jobs done, was a nervous wreck come the following week. Now i work for a Conservation Trust i only work weekends on emergency tree work, and the only weekend thats worked now is a Saturday morning for paperwork:001_cool:

I would only work a Sunday if I was full up with work, and would spend part of it doing maintenance / sharpening saws so that you don't have breakages during the week!

 

Sundays should be a day to relax and spend with friends and family!
