how busy are you????

[D Brennan]

Im going even quieter now, seems to be going worse and worse each week.

From what i hear it seems to me that the trades are hit worse than anyone, i have nothing at the moment.

There is a few self employed tradesmen on my estate were i live and no1 seems to be doing anything all vans parked up all day inc mine.

Whats it like everywere else?????

Sounds daft but it makes me feel better knowing that a lot are in the same position, but worse cause there seems to be nothing i can do about it aprat from watch my money dissapear fast.

With Christmas approaching and the current economic crisis. It is no wonder business is slowing up.

If you think things are bad now, wait till after Christmas.

We are busy, most of the lads are still busy on pre-christmas stuff but we dont get more than a few weeks notice of orders so I couldnt say what next year will be like. I must admit to being concerned for April May time when heating and lighting work runs out.

I hope you guys find work that are quiet at the moment

 

[spudmiester]

Work is a bit quiet, done some crap jobs I normally would turn down, subbed out to other sparks. Got a few enquiries after Crimbo but not much.

I do have other irons in the fire, but they are not red hot at the mo !

Same as everyone else I guess.
