its in the lap of the gods whether i get it,or even whether i put in my bid.  i really do believe in fate , lets see what the word is on the big boys quote first


  im not a risk taker when it comes to safety i promise you, although i DO take risks on business decisions . its got me from Zilch and homeless , to now having a busy round with 2 employees in under 3 yrs . will av 4 by this time next year and this threads got me thinking i might buy a bigger van next year to carry a water tank for higher jobs

if you are sad enough to believe in fate , then walk across the road on you towns busiest road without looking, and as for saying you are not a risk taker on health & safety by using a ladder on 4th floors, best laugh this year

Bobby,

I am a die hard tradder (hopefully not in a future literal sense). I am 49 years of age with nearly 15 years experience in this game. I have lots of room in my work schedule at the moment due to starting up again in another country. Moreover, I am very, very careful and methodical in the way I go about my work.

Given those simple facts and my current circumstances, I would still not touch a job like this with a dozen bargepoles tied together. The reason being that it is patently unsafe working 50 feet up in the air off ladders. My limit is around 25 feet, and even then I have to feel safe when I am up there. Anything higher than this I reject or pass on.

Some jobs are simply not worth the risk, and as you have a full book, why do you need it in the first place? Rhetorical question.

I wish you the very best in whatever you decide to do.  :)

John
