Ian young

thanks for replies and info ,,i hope you all had a good xmas etc,, I will stay on here if you dont mind,,its all very interesting,even though im not buiding a house for myself! Tennent,,my winters are spent ( the past 2 anyway)in canterbury,,but if i have decent years work,spain or portugal is my prefered destination,,im getting too old for the cold !! lol so thanks again all,,and if anyone knows of a selfbuild site i could advertise on,the info would be gratefully recieved ! All the best and happy new year ! lol x Ian (the builder in the bus)

I assume the work is all done and dusted now, but I feel for you,, the actions of the original bricklayers just make it harder for bricklayers like me to be taken seriously,, i have just finished buijding a couple of houses, on pricework,, the money was split into lifts, ( ground floor, 1st floor etc) and there was just as much profit on the gables ensuring everyone was happy to finish! Hope its all good now!

Hi, I am a bricklayer of 40 yrs experience, including 25 yrs of general building works, extensions, bungalows, houses, etc, for a variety of different clients, in both France and Spain. I, after a long term relationship breakup, live and travel in my motorhome, still working for various clients all over the UK. I'm happy living this nomadic lifestyle,which gives me both the freedom to work anywhere, and also to see parts of the UK and Europe i would never have seen. Currently based in Canterbury, Kent, and have just finished work for the winter... nice to meet you, Ian.
