Due to there being no work at the moment I thought I'd give this a go.   I've fitted full kitchens in the past including proper (butt and scribe) worktop joints, I can do basic plumbing (to a very high standard) tiling and electrics although I try to avoid these now as it's recomended you only use "qualified" tradesmen.   My day rate was £100 but then my day was upto 16 hours lol, anyone need anything done please ask and I'll quote on a job by job basis.   Andy                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds like a good idea. Good luck. xx                                                                                                                                                                             

  Andy you should move round my way, I couldn't get an electrician or plumber at all to fit my shower, most were fully booked and some weren't interested cos the job wasn't big enough!. I ended up getting it fitted the unauthorised way. (shh... I never said that lol)                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks Sylv Have bike and trailer will travel :oD I was working when you was getting it all sorted hun I did see the postings.                                                                                                                                                                             

I have been in the same boat as Kwak. Took me over 15 months to find a tradesman that would repair my kitchen ceiling and re wallpaper most said they didn't want the work, what is it with tradesmen this work was not a small job in fact its cost a little short of £3grand. Now the wallpaper has to all come off again as the guy that did it has done such a botch job, been paid over a £100 to do it to. that was just labour, so now trying desperately to find a decorator just been let down again with the promise to come and look at the job then a telephone call on the day he should have come to say can't get there.   So wish you all the best HR I am sure you will get some work if my experience is anything to go by, people will be begging you to do jobs for them.

(I'm working as a Marshall so should not be a prob)

That's what I thought. Wrong! "No cars, no pedestrians, no excuses"

                                                                                                                                                                             

Well as marshalls take caravans Wannabe I do not see a prob (I'm going to be there from thurs to monday helping out)                                                                                                                                                                             

I was supposed to be marshalling last year and was told in no uncertain terms I was not to turn up in my car.

As it turned out, I didn't bother going as I had to go to hospital on the Saturday (& thank goodness I did!), but there's no way I'll ever volunteer for that lot again. Utterly ridiculous. Not permitted to turn up in a tiny Ka, when they allow huge great trikes PLUS trailers to their events.

I wish I'd known last year that some marshalls take caravans! I'd have given them a bloody great piece of my mind (which I can ill afford to do!) Eejits. Better check to be on the safe side... Maybe they have one rule for favoured marshalls and another for mere mortals?

(Not a MAG fan in case I'm in any way unclear on this post! )
                                                                                                                                                                             

They want it to be a bike only event the bulk of trikers tend to be disabled in some way or other but still want to have the general feeling of freedom a bike affords, and I hate having to go by car (not by choice you know why) I've Marshalled for the last 3 years and allways gone on my bike (yes and I tow a trailer with it too maybe not a purest but I like a few extra comphorts like being able to stand up in the tent I take) and will in the future, I still camp with the general population as I prefer it that way. I support MAG for their constant fighting for bikers rights. I do not allways aggree with all the rules but generally I do. Anyway that's enough of politics, I'm not taking the pee and hope most will see it that way.
