Hi there,

I have to confess I'm not an electrician... Nor do I know anything about it. But that's why I'm here. I'm doing a bit of research into tradespeople, and wondered if any of you wouldn't mind giving me your two-pennies worth on a few things?

Just wondering how you find your work?
If you try and get private clients - is it easy to find work?
How could it be made easier?
What are your biggest headaches?
Are your clients / employers ever difficult?
If arguements arise with clients what is it over?
What do you love about the job?
what do you dislike about it?

Sorry to ask a load of stuff - but I'd love to get a better understanding of what makes you tick?

Thanks in advance :)
