People who work on building sites


Especially in this type of weather .

Could pay me a fortune and I'd still be sick as a chip doing it.

Getting up early doors Monday to Friday, working all day for next 8 and a half hours ,sometimes longer .

Absolute mugs game imho .

Anyone on here do it.?

Glad I got out of it when I could

Had brief spells of labouring (family jobs like) and it was good work, weather doesn't bother me as I'm not a big fanny, beats being stuck inside an office or factory doing exactly the same shit everyday

You say brief spells , different doing it 5 days a week full time , all your life. Sharp get sick then.

Or you could look at the bright side, and those wonderful summer day's, up on a roof, radio on, sun and Vitamin D for free, then a nice cold beer or two in the pub after, instead of sweating in a stuffy office, breathing in people's stale farts
 
Swap what I do now for the building sites in a heartbeat. I get paid reasonably well (excellent considering what I’m doing at the minute) but I sit in the house all day with me laptop. Rather be on a site in the rain doing something musical and making somet and having a bit crack while doing it. Money be better still I imagine considering the demand. Wish I got a trade as a bairn
 
This. I’m on a site still building. Start about 8, deserted by 3 (1 on a Friday. Half day turn up with bad weather for full pay. Summer topping up the tan.

You get a pension, holidays n sick pay or are you self employed?

Oh. Sorry, I’m living on it, not working on it. A couple of mates are though.
 
@Cox Green Fc I’m leaving the site now if that’s okay with you mate.
3:15 for me today, the site was deserted because the others lads had gone to play golf so me and me mate packed up and went home. Tomorrow will be a 2:30 finish as I'll be going to look at yet another classic motorbike I'm thinking of buying, Thursday will be a 12 o clock finish as I have to be somewhere on the afternoon.
It was about 9C down here today and I was sweating like a bull with the graft, I'll have arms like legs by the end of the week with the amount of joists I've been hoying about.
