another quiet week

[sparks_114]

It was as good as dead a couple of weeks ago, it's ticking for the last week or so, nothing really juicy though. I would say make good of bad times, this is your opportunity sharpen your wood bits, clean out the van, organise your toolbox and prepare for what may come at you. It may be that you're quite for a couple of months and you have jobs raining on your head all in one week. Point being, make sure you're well prepared for that week to make the most of it. No good wasting time picking up a bit that was burnt out, or a socket which you should have had in the van. All the best folks.

Its a funny time of year and work coming in can also be ... random. And we're in a slump!

Good thing is when it's quiet ... it WILL go noisy again!

 

[bristollspark]

I put an advert on gumtree last week,got a shower change over to do and also two wall lights to put up.not a lot but that advert was free.i get more from free adverts than paying for it.

 

[bristollspark]

2 jobs to do this week,could things be looking up

 

[robskiing]

Got a day tomorrow then im scratting around never advertised at all always word of mouth . The phone ringing has ground to a halt this last couple of weeks might have to do a little subbing

 

[bristollspark]

its all a nitemare at the moment,a lot of my work has been word of mouth,but you cant always rely on just that,i also advetise on the web,in the local directory,also on the free sites. i do get more work from word of mouth,also had few jobs from the free advertising,which is good.
