So ........ the average wage
« on: May 21, 2009, 08:56:46 pm »
Is obviously £1000 a week and more then?
Whenever a pricing question comes up on a fair sized job it's always around £200 for five hours work. Bang in a few more houses in the remaining time and bobs your uncle.
I'm happy with my earnings but can't honestly say I top 300 a day.  ???

of course i havent taken my running costs of that figure for wfp etc, but my customers are nice and sometimes they let me take extra choccie biscuits home for my wife which more than compensates for my slightly below average earnings

the ionics brand name brings you in only the top end work ( 100 quid a hour PLUS )

that wouldnt happen with a home-made system

You know the average wage, infact, you probably do better than many on here. The difference is, you're honest & not a (mmmmm, let me think.......................) "A proffessor in global business & transluscent weather protection steralization" :P

There's a few Ionic wfp systems for sale on ebay. Perhaps it's a reflection of challenging economic times at moment. It's not a good idea banging on who can earn £200-300 a day, etc etc, boring, very boring........................

 ;D no-one is banging on about how much they earn a day. The point is the high prices people quote on here when someone asks for advice.

the fact that you are all still in the trade tells me a couple of things ..
that you are making more than the dole

that deep down you are fairly happy with you wages

that you dont want a proper job :P ;D
