[vduben]

deffinatly pete, untill them there heavens open and all you have is a tshirt on, even burning your prussic out to get down to the cab still cant help you, funny to watch tho

I'm doing 7am til around 4 at the moment. If it's hot, and I'm doing chainsaw work, I found getting on site for 6 suited me, then working til 2 or 3, so only the last few hours were really hot. Of course, you can't do those hours for domestic customers - or if you have employees to carry.

Meet in the yard @ 7:30am (7am if we have to travel). My guys knock off when they finish (anywhere from 2 right up until 7 or 8 in the Summer).....Then there's all the paperwork sh*t that goes with running your own business. I sometimes don't get a chance to fall asleep on the couch until 9:30/10 o'clock!

7.30-4 as a rule, breaks when and if, we don't work in the dark if we can help it ,though this time of year, sometimes it just can't be helped

8.30 start, finish when the job is done, try for 4.00 to 4.30 if after 5 pay we pay our subbie an extra £10. 10 mins around 11.00 and 20 mins for lunch.

 

Also as a rule make sure your staff bring lunch with them, I used to hate working at a firm where you got in at 7.00 then went to the shop to buy breakfast, then later for lunch... I'd sit there thinking I got up to wait around for you lot to get your food..

8.30 start home when jobs done.

[MasterBlaster]

My goal is to be home before noon.

[igottacabstar]

Meet at my yard at 9 then work till the job's done - usually 5ish. Don't know how some of you on here manage to get up so early - I would feel like sh*t getting up at 6!

 

P.S. Always make time for breaks:151:
