Yes its taking a lot more time calling around to get gear, can’t see it getting any better for a while yet, thought it had peaked in the spring.I probably only have 25k in the yard, but then another 25k on jobs recently completed and need paying for.
The price of timber hasn’t helped recently.
I’m still in love with the job, however I’m pretty f#cking sick of some bits of it. People have got used to being able to get materials at the drop of a hat, now you actually need some forward planning and organisation. This isn’t my fault when they ring hoping to have a field fenced next week, your poor organisation is not my problem
A smaller problem that annoys me is how some will have a fence to repair or replace and rather than patch it up for another month until we can come they just keep ringing up to see how we are getting on. They would rather ring me and waste my time than help themselves and claim they are “to busy” you end up working all the hours and doing everything you can to help them and when you get there they are busy cutting there grass or going to market! I haven’t cut my grass for 6 weeks to try to get caught up with jobs!
