Title: Time you finish?
Post by: AuRavelling79 on February 27, 2009, 05:51:33 pm
5pm is my usual latest; tho' to finish a house or two to complete an area I might rarely stretch to 6pm.

I try and work long days so I can take Fridays off, so in the summer I've been known to start at 5.30am and work thru to 6.30 am.
But not too often eh! ;)

I generally like to start 9ish and knock-off at 3ish..mind you I work most Saturdays until lunchtime.

It must be an age thing (51) but I find 6 hours graft (no breaks) is about as much as I can do these days ::)

I read somewhere that if you take a 5 min break after every hour, and an hour for lunch you can keep going for 11 or 12 hours.
I have found it works but only for 10 or 11 hours and then I am pretty knackered

That's only and hour, you must have some well priced work.
I had today off, why the hell do I always feel so guilty when I take a day off? I had had a good four days in, and I'm on my pension, but I feel as guilty as hell when I take a day off.

Depends how late I start. Normally finish when I'm feeling knackered and can't wait to get home. 6hours is enough.Need the incentive to work hard to finsih early.

i tend to do 1 to 2-  8 plus hour days and then  usually.6-7 hours of hard graft.. only time i finish early is when i work  from early 7.30 am and dont stop for dinner so ive done a full day by 2-3 pm if ive worked hard... but i dont mind putting in the long days as then you get time off for friday etc and it might rain tomorrow is what i always think, so i try and work hard today so i am never caught out bad like this winter!!!!

Just for a laf why not run a 'how many hours a day' thread alongside a 'how much do you earn a day' thread.

from some of the fantistic sums I seen in previous threads they dont tally with the hours on this one.

personaly I reckon on 9-10 hours solid and eat bait on the go. Some work is at distances that makes it 12 hour day so I do 4 days, saves on diesel and gives me wednesdays (wheather permitting) for other persuits

I go for thursday off, or friday half day...

Know what you mean about earnings though. many post there best weeks like its an average :) however my hourly average is quite good,  but its only on a 20 -30 hr week so its ok, but on a 40 hour week i reckon it will definitely drop alot.....

In the winter I work till the light goes.

One important thing about WFP that doesn't get mentioned very often is that it is less tiring than trad so I can work longer hours and do more jobs in a day.

If I was still working trad I would be seriously slowing down by mid afternoon.

i try to work as late as poss, but then i only work 2-3 days a week, so would probably finish sooner if i was full time. have worked till 9 before lol.

I generally work until 3pm although its not set in stone its more a case of doing all the work i have set for the day then i finish
I pace myself over the week same as i did when i was trad doing more work earlier in the week although with wfp if i need to do a longer day later in the week its no problem

That's why I NEED to go WFP this summer! Working Trad, I tend to slack off in the afternoon. Normal finish time at the mo is 2pm 3pm :(

The good thing about doing 9-3 is that it works all 12 months of the year.

Mind you today was a 4pm finish...so a 10am start tomorrow ;D
