I don't know of any people who earn those kind of wages. You could earn that on 1 celebrity death run across the border 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate, I’m liking how they are using metal cladding more and more in buildings. I said to the wife is I ever get to rebuild the old part of my house I’d clad the whole lot in black metal.

In the last 5 or so years the amount of "grand design" type houses we fit out with metal cladding is mental...anthracite is the in colour. We do a lot of fancy aluminium as well, steel frames, metals and glass...some of the stuff looks amazing. Got a gang on one now in Torrington, all the roofs are zinc type standing seam, anthracite finish...big place with indoor pool etc, I'll get some pics up.as we go 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I built myself a barn a couple of years back in timber frame and clad the whole lot in grey sheeting, all I have to do is give it a wash down once a year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To pull £150k plus a year in a salaried job is high level professionals..... but not everyone is working for a salary... I know that, a local builder who I know of is worth a few million now. Now what he makes a year i have no idea but he's done well for himself. I've tried talking my brother in to setting up himself as he can put his hand to most things and is a brickie but he doesn't want it, he's happy earning a grand a week on the trowel.

He's self employed subbying to a local building firm. He's grafting for it like but he doesn't put in long shifts Mon-Thur and is usually home by 12pm on a Friday. I've asked him why he's not bothered about setting up and he said time and money, he could do it quite easily I should imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he's wort a few mill clear it doesn't matter what he earns a year mate...he's done the graft and the mortgage is cleared with money to enjoy... I'm sure he's taken a few chances and been clever with what he's earned...its not just about the yearly salary.... Not everyone wants the aggro of working for themselves mate, he might earn £10k one week and nothing for the next month... that's the truth of it... I think you have to have a few income streams now, most blokes I know who have done well on the buildings have rentals, a bit of plant hire, outside investments etc... they haven't just earnt.a decent wage they've reinvested... some like a gamble some don't, there's no right or wrong mate. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
