Hi All
Shared a journey about 8 months ago down to Halesowen with Mags(ken)
Super guy,great humour and very good tiler.
Read a thread awhile ago with him mentioning he was hanging up his trowels wondering if anybody has heard since how he's doing?
Cheers
Kev

[whitebeam]

He did mention that he was going back to his former work

[Sir Ramic]

Wasnt he working down south in I.T. I believe ??

[faithhealer]

coincidently thought same about Ken when I saw his 'moped' avatar somewhere

[GirlRacerRed]

he's now living in Derbyshire about an hour's drive from me he's doing some freelance IT work. I speak to him occasionally and apart from lack of work (IT and tiling) he's ok. tough times for a lot of people still.

[kaharrison9]

Good luck to him.
Hopefully 2 strings to his bow will help in these times.
Next time you speak GRR to Mags tell him it would be great to hear from him on the forum.
Cheers
Kev

will do Kev. I think he's got a new woman too, so he's a bit distracted

[Abstract tiling]

yea, ithought bout going bk to my old job last october, then things went mad busy and i am mowed out now. funny how things can change. also it was inly my 2nd year on my own so you have 2 stick at it and take it sometimes

[mikethetile]

I had a bad start to the year

painted the outside of a house this week and picked up another outside redec, 1 small bathroom and today I ve got an outside redec with new fascias and guttering to the rear plus some repointing around the house, monday ive got to price new guttering to a house all within a few hundred yards from where I was working, this is on top of what I already have booked in

[kaharrison9]

Out of intrest abstract what was the turning point for you from just about packing tiling in to been very busy?
Right place right time,advertising,bit of luck or just way it is?
Cheers
Kev

I found him Kev he's lurking in the For Sale and Wanted forum

AYEUP , I remember that trip well Kev, you farted in my car and it took a week to get rid of the smell

I had to give up as too many people were undercutting me and for nothing, as I was not established I wasnt getting any trade. Even the local builder who used me started using somoene else cos he was half my price (even though he tiled onto weyrock).

So yeah im back in IT for the print industry, pretty quiet at mo but getting there and being used by other companies as a freelance colour management expert.

[kaharrison9]

Yes,i remember it well.
Thought the aroma would have cleared by the time you filled up with petrol and paid.
Hadn't no one else to blame either!!
Pay back for getting us lost and us going the wrong way on a toll road.
Anyway good to hear from you
Keep involved
Kev
