worth looking at......

setting up as a sole trader - people are spending more on home improvements and extensions rather than to try to sell their houses and move to bigger ones.... theres actually growth in the DIY, and small trade / tradesman industries...

I know a self emplyed painter/decorator AND a plasterer who are maxed out and not enough hours in the day! They're literally turning down domestic work, which means they can afford to bung in cheeky high quotes as they're not too bothered if they dont get the job.
