Went out pricing up after tea from massages off the phone,got back 8.15.

Got a few days work from that,so makes it worthwhile. Hereabouts,if you leave a potential customer waiting days til you find time to go and see him,by the time you get there the job will have been done and the tree turned into firewood.

Quiet time of year for me, most days 9am - 4pm in my showroom then out doing a few deliveries, surveys etc. Today started about 8am, got back from delivering a range cooker at about 9pm. During the winter its a steady 70 hour week sometimes more.

Urm at least 7 until 5 most days then once a week its at least 6 until 5. Atm its only half days on Saturdays but that will be 7 until 5 soon when the work picks up for the hedge cutting we do (starts August ends in October ish). And some sunday morning jobs.

Plus the time quoting and answer messages emails, invoices etc etc.

So maybe atm 60hour work work a week at the very least plus the office work and quoting.

But soon it will be over 60 more like 65 - 70hrs a week

 

But hey i'm only 22 got to work now right????

Learn to take time out, or else you burn out, thats said on the back of a lifetime of living and working in a self employed family,( a few have been workoholics!) we are not designed to do 7 days a week of hard physical labour and there are plenty of us who wished we had steadied up a bit when younger as it wrecks your body...

I'm a subby, so it can be any number of hours. Depends on job, location, crew etc. I still laugh at a boss who gets twitchy when he sees school kids heading home, as if we should be home before them!

Left school last century:D

 

trees, waves and cakes!!:-)
