    Career change advice

    o.O it shows you that there are quite to many people out there taking the **** methinks to the above post. To the OP, perhaps you could get a day off work and pop down to your local collage and enquire further there. Never to late to learn something new.

    Hanging 12 Doors

    IMO a fair price would be close to the 400 mark excluding diesel...
