what is the biggest problem?

[Dilz]

In short...... What is one problem you face with this line of work? the biggest? or the most annoying? a niggling thing that happens every day maybe? a problem with kit? a problem with regulations? it can be anything, but only one at a time....

 

Then perhaps we can work on some solutions......

 

 

just a thought.

'can you just?'

[Hodge]

Defo on the weather, especially rain, as for the wind it does create work but it can make work very hard too.

The other thing can be getting paid!!

Lots of people wanting me to work for them one week, not enough the next

Truth! i cant not express how much i agree. So what is there we can do? who is setting these prices so low?

 

why are they getting lower when costs get higher?

 

(i know this sounds dumb and it is obvious but i just want to see what people say..... )

The worry of tools being stolen

Thats simple.....................the weather!!!!!!!!!

What exactly about the weather??? how does it cause problems?

 

(dumb i know but looking for expansion on this point)

 

 

Surely there is not the wrong weather (bar storms!) just not being prepared properly? It aint so cold if you have the right gear is it? you can buy good water proofs or cant you......and the wind...the most meschievous of the elements....

 

in short, we cant stop it, so how can we improve the ways in which we deal with it?
