  1. I came to that conclusion a couple of years ago remortgaged the house and bought a holiday home and have since spent every weekend when not on call away with my wife and kids. One of the best things I ever did.
  2. Now your talking Pete, where do I sign up ?
  3. I started on my own 8 yeas ago with nothing. If your going to make a go of it get ready for years of 80 + hour weeks. Tbh it's getting harder as the other muppets are working for peanuts these days.
  4. But surly under 2m it should be mechanically protected?
  5. After spending the last few days working in Glasgow I was expecting a total nightmare. TBH what a surprise, went out in the city for a meal and a few beers and it was far from what I thought it would be. I would 100% rather work in Glasgow than London.
  6. Milestone ? But it's going to cost you a few bob.
  7. Press the chime button then press the button corisponding to what led's are lit. This will turn off the chime on the zones iluminated.
  8. I hate RSD contacts they fail far to often for my liking. We have started fitting 2 x Guardall DT 15+ at each side of the shutter (with the mask connected as we only fit G3 Galaxy on monitored jobs) Our Fa rate is very low and we dont get stupid callouts to rotten RSD contacts. Even if the job is G2 we connect the mask on 99.9% of the detectors.
  9. sniff sniff
  10. Well i thaught i would report back after almost 6 years.... We now have 8 members of staff offices 5 vans/cars on the road and more work than we can cope with and i am stressed out. But on the whole things have gone very well for us but my god it has been a 24/7 job to get here and cost me a few health problems due to being over worked The problem now is keeping on top of all the audits and paper work etc, and we are owed a fortune Thats ths way it is LOL.. If you are thinking of leaving a full time job to start up on your own and intend to make it work get ready for a lot of very hard work and if like me its going to be 12/15 hour days for years... (
  11. I hate staples we do not use them at all and would be very disapointed if i found any of our lads using them.
  12. 100% agreed peter, i am not happy unless i am in the thick of it, thats what drives me forward.
  13. LOL I am more stressed than ever with over £70k out standing at any one point.. We have more work on than ever, 7 members of staff and looking at a new engineer in the new year. Trust me dont think its an easy ride cos its not... Thinking back 9 - 5 at Hex was a dream.. but did not get the ££ i needed. I have had shinges this last few weeks due to stress. So dont think its an easy ride, its NOT..... But on the plus side we are picking up loads of installs and most important loads of 3 year contracts
  14. for once a job went right.. 15 door access system came in 2 days early and quite a bit of stuff left over. It makes a change making a few extra £££
