I actually like trad now and again. I have a block of flats to do on Tuesday, it's 3 stories, I wfp the top and trad the middle and bottom floors.
When I tendered for them they specifically requested this as most of the tenants had complained about wfp, mainly because the windows are oldish wood windows and the frames leak.
I was happy to accommodate, it makes a change from the norm.

Every eight years? What a strange frequency. Do tell more.

I'm 100% trad, been in the game for 20 years and still love it.

I have been without my van for a week now though, so have been walking around with ladders and bucket with cloths etc in a backpack doing my most local work.

I'm 55 and in reasonable nick physically, but have to say I am looking forward to getting the van back (hopefully tomorrow)!
