Sorry it was round the 1300 mark in the summer when he was doing the 18 hours a day he was doing that 3 or 4 times a week to get his money up. He couldn't do 18 hours every day or he would be hanging (literally). It's good money if you can't get a job over here any thing is better than nothing

Funny you say that. When I was an Engineer, some 18 years ago. I built some of the highest buildings in Europe. I wont even mend my house roof any more. Odd how your body gets used to things. I even felt odd in a glass lift. Didn't dare tell the kids who thought it was fun  ;D

I'm like that as well when I started about 5 years ago I was cleaning off a ladder all day some high ones as well never bothered me at all now I can barely get to a second storey window on a ladder without feeling panicked . I've got a feeling its all the horror stories I've heard and seen about people falling off getting badly injured I think it's got in my head somehow
