I was waiting or this to pop up. It seems to be that some time everything that can go against you, will. Other times it all seems to slot into place and your home by lunchtime. Other week macrocarpa ran over two days, today finish a weeks fencing just in time to see the rain come in. It seems to average it's self out over the year, just enjoy it for now.

Ha ha, classic Martyn, nice when you come out on top!

 

I've had some good 'uns over the years.

 

As Sam says, they seem to average out, but it's still nice when you have a result.

being in business is about profit.

 

most sole traders don't quite get it in any industry.

Best one was when I priced a job at four figures and guessed two days work, found a good team and got it all done in a day, that helped me get some shiny toys with the money from that job. Costs were about a third of the jobs price. Never come up that good since!

That sounds spot on, excellent efficiency - and money for the boys.
