    Al,

    Did you ever meet a builder that did know something? The only one I knew got out in the 80's just before interest rates went sky high.

    Hi Peter

    Actualy I met one 3 months before I gave the trade away, hes a realy nice bloke, and knows what hes on about too.:eek:
    Payed you when ever you wanted paying, no bullsh!t like the rest of them I met.

    I cant pay you this week because ( insert as may weak and feeble excuses as you can possably think of here ). :mad:

    Just a pity I met him at the wrong end of my building days.

    Al,

    I worked for that builder that got out as he also owned the Swagman Restaurant. The stories he told me about other builders that he worked for with his framing gang before he became a builder himself are unbelievable. :eek:


    Not only waiting months for his money but then they usually deducted $ 50 / $ 100 a frame (usually worth $ 700) because an nogging was alledgedly missing and their supervisor had to fix it. Ofcourse they only told him after the brickie and plasterer was finished so you couldn't check up or go back and fix it himself.


    Blood sucking parasites they were, may be now they are better ?
