Pointing.

I'm a self employed builder, I charge that much for myself and each of my crew. Obviously they don't get paid that, I make money off them. The thing is I have to take time for meeting new customers, putting bids together etc. I don't get any paid vacation or sick time, if I'm not working I just don't get paid.It tends to even itself out somewhat when you take these things into consideration, although on a big house that may last a year or more it's pretty good money.
I also charge a percentage on all materials and all sub contractors

I moved house a few weeks ago.
Pointing the back of the house came up on the survey so estate agent sent round their builders to check. Said it needed doing and quoted £1044.

When I moved in I found a pointer myself who charged me £400. Did a good job.

I'm thinking Dick Turpin here...
Wonder why builders get a bad name ?
