I'm spending a lot of time on sites now as agency mate or improver and it's because I'm a mature learner, have paid to change career and want to learn and do my absolute best in every install.
I'm almost at the total of my NVQ as I've compiled so much evidence and photographed it and written it up and learnt from everyone of those moments.
I'm moving into the commercial after 2 1/2 years of domestic and the whole thought pattern is shifted and the tools used are different for containment and fixing.
I've been working with a 21 year old qualified and fair play he gets on with it but I think maturity makes me think about how to do things with a bit more common sense (but still respect to him).
I'm enjoying this journey and keep making the right decisions which are taking me on a good path.
This forum has been great and as Hightower said the other day, has been fundamental in my learning and that's what it's about - learning. You don't get this trade handed to you otherwise you'll fail on the first day or end up with your work on 'dodgy trade pics' and none of us want to be there.
Crack on - I am!
Ps. I AM a tool tart. I've got in my shopping basket 200mm knipex 20 degree bolt croppers for basket and some nibblers for tray. I cannot do the work if I don't have the tools. The right tools make the job easier and more enjoyable. Did I hear an Amen?
