Popular Post NEWKID 26,067 Posted August 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Started wotk at 5-30am yesterday, its been a killer this week on the roof... finished at 1pm and buggered off to the beach .. Me and my brother treated ourselves to a jet ski a while back, business expense as a safety craft if doing dock yard work (you know the score...)... So we went full kit up, barbie, fishing gear, canopy.. even.got an inflatable sofa for the girls.....we were in for the long haul... lol Geth (white van man) was 2 beaches down on the kayaks with his lad (oliver), we flipped down and took Oliver for a spin... then he started catching bass... he is a proper little angler now... We had a fish off the jet ski for some mackerel to chuck on the barbie... only needed half a dozen... managed that.. Got the jet ski back to my brothers (he lives in Exmouth, right above the beach)..and when we got to the camp the girls were on with the barbie...ideal! Stayed on the beach yapping until Midnight, it was my sister in laws birthday today so great way to see it in... Perfect day...f**k work!

I talk to the Mrs a bit about your change of lifestyle, I'm not sure its for her, but something like that (no real ties) would suit me in the future I think... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never minded working to be honest, I like the Craic and social its given me for the last 25 years or so... loads of lifelong friends who were apprentices for us and now run their own firms... I like that a lot.. But I'm 46 this year, not old I know, but when you are hard at it from 16, and set up on my own at 19 it takes its toll....basically I feel tired more often now!! Lol I get exactly why you're doing what you are, I think its great if you can involve the whole family, buying this place I have is about handing on to my kids, something to get them off and running so to speak... but I don't want to be a slave to it myself, so we'll sit down in 4 or 5 years and the kids will be adults, then we can see what we all want to do... but I'm hoping that ain't me on a roof everyday or stuck in the office until I'm 70!!

I've been re sheeting a sports hall, its been unbearable, been at this game over 25 years and I honestly can't ever remember heat like this... got back on the tools for the summer as we are stacked out and struggling with labour, I've loved it to be honest.... but looking forward to a bit of cooler weather now!
