why are you all not at work?

[Dean Lofthouse]

Well I was working. Out at 7am this morning, in again at 7.

My guys are working right through chrimbo this year, apart from the 2 - 3 days holiday. Usually I close down for 2 weeks, but they want to work, and needs must when the devil drives.

 

Never mind mate, your worries should vaporise on Sat night

 

Then reaapear with a hangover Sunday morning:001_smile:

Yes same here work is slow, have work in from mid jan to end of feb so thats good so just chilling and spending time with my family.

Money comes and goes guys and ten years will pass in the blink of an eye so i would not stress the fact that work/money is tight, try not to focus on the negative and stop for a second and think what you have got.

If you woke up this morning healthy had people that respect and love you, you are a very wealthy person.

 

Well said wise words, There has been so much death in my village this year i think sod it who cares if i am rich or poor at least i have a good wife and children and family and good health.

I dont think the general consensus is about being rich as such. More like "can I afford to survive". Depending on financial commitments, dropping to 2 days a week is hefty. But............I have no sympathy for you guys, sitting around on the computer all day whilst I'm clambering up an ivy clad sycamore. Posting on arbtalk, whilst i'm on my knees logging up a large felled stem. Theres loads you can do to get work. Think outside the box, never wait for the phone to ring. MAKE IT RING.

That would work. I suppose. hahaha, you madhead.I meant stuff like the log market round here has gone crazy, loadsa people wanting firewood, so I put my prices down instead of up and let everyone know that. (flyposting to houses with smoke coming out the chimney).Suddenly 20 tonnes of timber dissapears and your that busy up till christmas, you dont care if you ever see a log again. hahaha

If people are short of ways to get cash I have a few contacts that need timber, theres a Architectural Salvage yard up my round that also specialises in making oak doors. Usually reclaimed timber but it can be hard to get hold of such stuff so he uses new timber.

I also have a contact who does a lot of wood carving in devon/cornwall area, he makes allsorts from spoons through to furniture but in traditional methods.

I think I have a few more contacts that like to play with timber, I'll have to dig them out. Hope these help anyway.
