What pays the bills for you?

My bread and butter is garden maintenance, over heads are low when weeding and digging, not much higher for mowing etc.

 

Profit comes on tree work and landscaping etc.

 

I work with a compressed spine and very occasional (touch wood) sciatica, long term compression injury not through an incident, therefore variety of my work is superb. I love the challenge of tree climbing and dismantling etc but couldn't do it all the time, and nor could I face weeding gardens everyday.

 

Its a happy balance, I work to live and not live to work.

The last few months have been very busy with work, and I'd currently love to be able to find the time to play with wood.

 

This is how I spend every day, the current job shown first, and then the two previous to that.

 

Take this.

And turn it into this.

Last two jobs.

 

I did the frame, but not the weatherboarding!
