Give over!, you are a bit of a lefty when you've had things explained to you.

Had another today, I've got a mate down from Doncaster next week to help me on a job. He finished the phone call with, I'll see th' on Saturday 'son'.

I'm sure they aren't fenders Bud, what's being talked about here is they act like a SORT of bearing to run the ropes through/over I don't think they look right... no experience apart from reading and crayon pictures mind.

@Stubby do you think these are from lumpy water boats?, I've no experience of being wreck less with lumpy boats as you know.
-
I've never used or heard of anything like them in drainage, I've done far less fresh water to know.

I don't think a freelancers insurance comes into it in the UK, it's the main contractors responsibility, A freelancer doesn't need insurance here. If it's a proper subbed out job, i.e., the contractor is running the job with his own kit on his own schedule they then need insurance.

Same old same old Ted, putting the world to rights, go carefully, until next time.

Calor aren't out of stock at this time of the year, they just don't want to advertise their prices. If you can get refillable bottles or find someone who knows what they are doing when filling standard bottles it's 71.1p a litre around here now. 47Kg Propane Gas Bottle | Commercial Gas Heating | Calor Shop SHOP.CALOR.CO.UK Buy Calor's 47kg Propane Gas Bottle. It's perfect for home energy supply instead of an LPG tank, as well as for...

How far is March from you, hour or so?, 1 bottle is £47.50 now, buy ten and they are £40/each which is a massive saving, they are just short of £80/47kg bottle around here.

Any time Ted, sorry I missed your call yesterday. I've tried calling the above number, still no success!
-
Tell you the truth I'm not sure, I've spoken with Ted before but I was on a different contract then.
-
Thanks Alex, it looks like Ted is on to it.
-
Nah, it's Ted easyliftguy, always good for a natter if I could get through to him.
-
Still doesn't work.

I've got a missed call from America it starts +1, but I can't call it back, I've tried 00, still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Sat in the box with all the windows, door and skylights open 28.2 degrees.

updated (2020) costs of taking on a first employee

Company goes bump, no redundancy. -
Underground tank?, it depends how wafty you are, I get my bottled gas off a bloke who fills them from his domestic tank, I know it's not recommended but I've never had a problem. There is a place not a million miles from you that do 47kg bottles for (don't quote me) about 45 squids.
-
Fixed that for you.
-
I'd go this way, I don't know what the price/litre is these days on a domestic tank but it's eye watering expensive by the bottle.

There are millions of people like 'that', they turn out for an employer day in day out. People rarely change jobs if the wages and conditions are ok. It took me until my 30's to realise how much money other people were earning from my labour. Anyone who's got the ambition, and motivation as the boss will be the boss. -

At twice their wage you might as well get a prima Donna subby in, let's suggest you pay someone on the books £15/hour, he's costing you £30/hour, 8 hours at £30=£240/day. From what I've read here Most subbies are cheaper than that. -
I must get another dog soon.
-
How much do you charge as a subbie for the use of your own truck?
eggsarascal replied to Brian Jones's topic in Arb-Trucks
London is a different place!, if I/you tried to pull £100+mileage in Suffolk for a Transit we'd be on a hiding to nothing. It'd be a good days money plus fuel. Just tell them what you want with your truck and labour for the day, I don't see why it needs breaking down to tools, truck, labour. -
Got a choice of two jobs up there if I want them, ones with a mate on a building renovation job the other is on the drains doing surveys, something I haven't done for years, decisions, decisions.
