    As some of you know i’ve been working on my own it the workshop for a month or so. I’ve been advertising for a mechanic but have only had one applicant that was not suitable.
    While the 12-14 hour days and 6 to 7 days a week was OK for a short while it’s time i faced reality that i probably wont find a mechanic. I may put an apprentice on this year but they won’t be much of a help for at least 12 months.
    So I’ve decided to only work 5 days as the body is not liking the hours and the mind is pretty tired as well. If you need something outside of those hours just call Leanne of myself and we’ll work something out.

    It is blood hard to find good help hey Nick! I’m a surveyor and have given up hope of finding a surveyor to employ, and even a decent peg-basher is proving ridiculously hard to find. Back to working by myself and feel like burnout is approaching…

    Hope you work it out soon.

    All the best!

    Hey Nick,
    Life is way too short to be spending that many hours at work :pinch:

    Even if your lucky enough to be one of the few people passionate about your work its still work :angry:
    We only go round once so we all need to spend our time wisely and being chained to the wheel trying to please clients, meet deadlines,be successful does come at a cost.

    Good to see you have come to your senses and are going to give yourself more time away from work ;)

    I know it works for me :laugh: only downside is lack of funds for new toys 😆
