    Thanks heaps to Smally and Rob400 for a big effort in the bush today clearing single tracks and making some creek bypasses to make the ride flow !!!

    Plus we did a great 70km loop as well :)

    Sounds like fun Fuchsy I’d be keen for a ride around that area one day as I used to live in Lake Cathie and I can imagine there’s some gold in that bush !!

    I’ve spent the afternoon in the rain with cane king life and chainsaw making some of those slippery trail for tomorrow :D

    Living on the north coast means you deal with a real laid back attitude a lot of the time , I agree with Budge that if you employ straight from school , lay down the law and stick to it you can end up with a good tradesman.

    My current employee started with me at 16 as and electrical apprentice and has been with me 10 years this year. I never put up with bullshit from day 1 , smoko is when the job allows and isn’t set to 20 minutes or 1/2 hour lunch. If we’re busy it might be a quick bite if we’re not we might have a surf. We go home when the jobs done and if you wake up with a little headache or sniffle , work it off , it’s not a reason for a day off. And so on …..

    On the flip side I pay what they are worth , in my latest employees case that’s almost double award , it’s the only way to keep a good tradie loyal and keen.

    I have taken on some already ” qualified tradesmen “that have worked for larger contractors and we produce 50% more work a day with a higher quality , I’m not sure why but they start keen then within a few months slack off every chance. It is frustrating and for a small business crippling.

    Good luck Ecks :)
