Lmao!

 

had the same last week, 2-day walnut, very technical rigging.

 

She'd had a price of £350, which i advised her to take. She then said he couldn't do it, and had let her down.

 

I gave her my price and she said 'it takes me a fortnight to earn that much'.

 

I enquired if she took £40k's worth of kit and someone else to work with her?

 

She didn't get it at all.

 

doesn't bother me much any more, she probably makes appallingly distasteful and insipid tea anyway with economy teabags.

 

We will never earn what we are worth because we are doing a job we enjoy so much (most days!).

 

How many people do you reckon are on plumberstalk.co.uk having the crack with their mates and posting pics of tap washers they have fitted that day?

Its only cutting down trees, there are some folk in the world who can do 2 rolly pollys and think they deserve a place at the olympics:laugh1:

 

Cutting down trees is only 1% of the job you muppet

1) Our job rocks and plumbing sucks. 3 year olds dont spend hours watching them work in awe. We slay giants and dont smell like poo.

 

2) We are paid what we ask to be paid. Its on us.

The problem is in the eyes of Joe tree work and firewood are non-essential items that any old pleb can do so aren't prepared to pay much for it.
