The customer is happy....and has offered more work.... nevertheless, he got a bargain methinks..

That's a very tidy job Carl.

Well, well.

Looks like an excellent job, Carl, your many talents never cease to amaze me.

Incidently - why, when I've already signed into the forum do I have to sign in again when I go to make a post - it's a little irritating to say the least?

Is that a wish or just a comment? . . .

Thanks all

...it is indeed a fully working well....there is an underground stream at the bottom of it!

I am not a joiner...but get great satisfaction from working with wood...maybe I have found a new vocation? MInd you, I will have to either get quicker at it or charge more per hour...my time estimate was woefully inadequate!

Quite a difference. :thumbsup:

Pricing jobs is probably the most difficult part. You'll get it right after a few jobs.

Is this the start of a future name in house building? :thumbsup:

Looks very good indeed. Perhaps you could branch out into bespoke garages for the automotive carriage for the thinking person?

:cheers:

When estimating-costing repair work you need to build in a 100% buggeration factor.. :|

Dave, believe it or not it is a confidence thing.....hence I post up what I do to see if peeps think it good enough to make doing it for a living a possibility..

There are even simpler ideas of generating income.
A guy near us is making a very satisfactory living by picking up cars, generally owned by ageing widows, giving them a quick check over, water, oil etc. followed by a quick wash (courtesy of his local Albanian hand wash team) and charging Ã‚Â£25 for it.

He is inundated with business, but there are a lot of idle wealthy people around the Cotswolds.
(I'm just idle, unfortunately)
