Property maintenance?

[thatbloke]

Anybody here do property maintenance as a career?

 

[Deluks]

It's a broad term. Builder/handyman/chippie/painter & decorator all do property maintenance. Many trades on here, why the question?

 

[thatbloke]

Finding myself getting slowly drawn into it, just wondering if general maintenance is worth getting into.

 

[Deluks]

What are you doing now?
Got a van/car? Got tools? Skills?

What specifically do you want to know?

One for trade talk methinks.

Thats the thing , I was plumbing/pipe fitting but after embarking on a restoration job I have been approached by people do do different jobs on period propertys, I was going to dive in and start doing general work specialising in period propertys using traditional methods and materials.
I am by no means experienced enough to do everything so I was wondering if its a worth while venture.

Umm, Joe90 was a plumber pipe pipe fitter with fingers in many other pies as he described it! And he could not spell properties either!

He is/was you. Please don't expect us to believe that you joined this forum in 2009 and do not know who he is.

try searching my posts, I came here in 09 to get info on roofing and then didnt really use the forum at all , perhaps in the plumbing and electrics sections from time to time.
Dude if I were Joe90 I would simply say so.
Hang on , let me have a look in my ''joe90'' pocket , nope , sorry , its empty.

I didnt know who you were until a few days ago and you have been here for ever.

So now (suddenly) you know who he is

 

[thatbloke]

Ive been searching his posts because he has been brought up. You do surprise me sometimes, really you do.

The difference between Joe-90 and That Bloke is that Joe-90 knows what he's talking about as he's been doing multi-trade work for decades.

Yeah Joe, we have all seen your plumbing 'expertise'.

Gas fitting is my forte.
