How has 2012 started for you work wise.?

good start for me and my lads 2 large commercial jobs keep us busy nearly all year

 

[White Room]

A plumber I know started doing his own tiling because work was short but has got quite a bit of work in one house and asked me to do the tiling and plastering...

well im very quite, been out this evening to look at a 3m2 kitchen splashy, and 3m2 of slate in a poarch, wonder if its worth it sometimes, quoted two big bathrooms 50m2 just after christmas but the customer rang to say the plumber was doing it all now, as it was cheaper :mad2: got three bathrooms to look at this week, so a least the phones ringing, always the same though when your piled out with work everyone wants it doing yesterday and when you got nowt know ones in a hurry lol..

No commission as yet, but have three galleries to supply, one that wants outdoors/garden items, (so there are more birdbaths to come, simpler ones this time, nice to do) a charity piece to make and something for an exhibition. All cost money with no immediate returns, so am much happier with commissions in general and hoping something will come up after I get back from Germany to sort out my late Mum's flat etc., perhaps NOT having to start a commission yet may be a blessing in disguise. Makes me a bit nervous though.
