hi kev and james, at 16 I would go for it full time, you/he could make more in 2 days trad even if slow than a 16 year old will get in a week in paid employment, james is asking the right questions, good luck young man, target local estates so transport is not a problem, it shouldn't be hard to build up a couple of days work a week to start with, don't under price because you are young, remember the overheads etc, money for the tax man, and keep good accounts
