my dad started out like most on here with a beat up austin van a point and a 35' ladder. he used to do the odd day cash in hand for other local guys while he built his own stuff up. he took on a few big contracts from guys who he met working for other w/c. after a while my uncle started working for him till he found something better to do (lol) a few years later he got lad to work for him in replace of my uncle. every leave i had i used to drive home from germany to see my girlfriend and while she was at work i used to go in with me old man just to stop me getting board and spend time with him as he wernt around when i was a kid. very quickly i learnt to love it! the freedom of being out side all the time, diffrent view every day, diffrent faces. i decided to leave my awsome carier in the army to work along side the old git. he tought me every thing he knew and some and we became best friends. i dont work for him no more because his company is far to big for me to have a place in it and i see no future there for me because he will sell it on when the time comes and i dont want to be to old to start from fresh but i can say my dad showing me the wonderfull world of w/ctook me away from a VERY promising carrear in the army and i'm glad.

people ask do you like window cleaning and i say NO!

I LOVE IT!!

my lil bro is at uni doing a degree in film studys :o.

how can you do a degree in watching films? ive had him in with me for a day and he liked it but wont give it a try. he gets pooy with me when i tell him how much i earn but still he wont consider working with me just for a bit to see if he likes it.

i've big plans for my business and would happly train my bro and give him a % of the business (which is what my farther wouldn't do for me) but still he dont want to know. instead he want to become a teacher. teaching english to our ever growing imegrant population.  :'(

i've told him when he grows out of it there will always be a place for him, but it really sadens me.
