Always a rat amongst us
Confession: Starting out I used to keep a dead rat and a perfect example of a wasps nest in my van. Would use them as props, especially on big sites. A dead rat managed to keep lots of contracts alive.
Tea tax is real
Confession: Tea Tax is real, especially for emergency call outs. No cup of tea, your job just got longer by an hour.
Keeping it in the family
Confession: Spark here, had a fixed price contract on a series of new builds, the developer was absolutely clueless but lovely guy. I helped him with some pricing for plumbing, heating and electrical based on my experience. Marked it all up by 20%, employed all of my mates for 18 months and saved him money. Everyone was happy!
Developer dirtbag
Confession: Used to work for a scumbag housing developer that would massively overrun on completion dates on the construction of new builds, especially for phase two once a lot of the cost had been covered. Constantly put off the completion date as housing prices around here have doubled. Plan was to annoy the purchaser so much a load of buyers drop out, loose their deposit and the houses go back on the market for current market value.
Secret foundations.
Confession: I used to work for one of the big builders, if you live in a new build made by us never dig down more than half a foot down in your garden. Empty cans of Monster, sandwich wrappers, all sorts of crap just under the top soil.
