building? badly payed? my ole man just finished building a house for my cousin and the bricky he had with him was getting 1.50 a block cash in hand
he was laying up to 500 blocks a day and considering it took 6000 block to get out of the ground he made a nice few quid... think it was 32000 for 4 weeks work and that was just the bricky!
fooking sparks charged me 80 quid to move a socket 1 foot... when he gave me a quote of 70 quid each to install some downlighters in me living room i told him to fook off and did the job meself...

Along with Half pint, AK, Tomas and maybe Tim.
I have spoke to HP a while ago all be it and he wasn't on AMAZIN money, AK is talking of setting up on his own and he can ask £550 a day or something (sure he won't mind me saying as he posted up in gc) so that's a different kettle of fish as he's not exactly seasonal as far as I can tell. Tim's a city high flier isn't he 
What would you say is the average wage of cs

Obviously it affects earning potential. I could earn a hell of alot more in lodnon but refuse to go as I hate the whole culture and couldn't settle there.

30k sounds about right if he's got work all year.
take 20 days off for holiday, then 18% = about £70 day rate.
I've been doing dry lining about 18 months, my day rate is £130 minus 18% altho the majority of my work is on price. Price works out better for me as I can earn what I want (usally more than day rate), but I might have to change companys 2 or 3 times a year and travel a fair distance for the better work.
30k a year for a secure job cant be bad
I only put my chaps on daywork if they're doing remedial work, unfinished work or shared areas.
Price is better for everyone, they work quicker, I get my profits on the workers quicker, the workers get their money faster, but in the spraying side of things, it's too easy to rush and make a balls, so alot of remedials have to be stood to the cost by whoever did the work.

It's not constant work when your self employed though, I've dug a random worker out of my file and the person earnt from April 6th 2004 - April 5th 2005, £43,390 gross and they worked 218days in that period.

Read the post - he said people associate the job with bad pay, when in fact the opposite is often true.

I own a corsa as something to do on weekends, I've driven it 4 times since November, I also have other vehicles, but I see your point, all I can say is I'm not a materialistic person, I'd rather have a decent runner for 5k than a 50k Ferrari as they do the same job, and the corsa is just something I can play with on a track.

Agreed, I tender for work in mainly southern areas, up north there are more traders and firms that screw prices down, therefore people either not working, or working for lower prices.
