diversity NO not that kind

[the pict]

In these times of lean pickings I have taken on jobs for new customers a few years ago I would have knocked back, for example this week I have repaired 2 x stick blenders ( bloody dangerous things), 1 x deep fryer, 2 pizza ovens, 1x ceiling mounted heater ( more a joiners job as the ceiling had come down but I had a sheet of ply)
1x fire alarm system ( thanks to Teletrix and others) fiitted a remote bell for a telephone, a new fan for a oven, and a set of brushes in a washing machine, and I hope there is more of the same next week anyone else diversifying

I was asked a while ago if i could put together an exorcise bike! Thought it was a wind up, but he said he worked in an office and couldn't do anything practical.

Told him my call out fee, he said fine and i spent an hour putting it together!:wacko:

Hung some blinds and put in a shower room more of the same would be good.

Me too, did 3 the other day, & a few other things.
I'll do anything for cash (but I won't do that!)
I've even done the dreaded PAT, but it did lead to something better.
Don't turn anything down, you never know what might come of it...

ive done pipe fitting/plumbing, fibreglassing, concreting, shuttering and painting. All whilst employed. A lot of blokes would say no, but for me, variety is the spice of life.
I know my limits, and if im not happy im not forced to do it.

I do a lot of satellite and aerial work, HDMI distribution, PC repairs and stuff. Often fits in well with re-wires etc.

Put in a concrete base for a patio today....more productive than working in mothers Post office I suppose

I'm quite happy to turn my hand to most things so long as there's money involved, and am luckily quite 'hand' skilled across a lot of traditional trades, but I've always been wary of advertising this fact just in case you end up with the 'odd job man' label, as I figure that's ultimately counter-productive for decent levels of proper sparky work, esp commercial stuff. I quite often find that it's the older generation who will ask you to fix a shelf or something whilst you're there on sparky time.
