Whats all these comments about 9-5  

I've bin in the Building trade since 1965  

and I dont think I've ever worked 9-5

ah yes, let's see now, in my experience that'll be something like....

breakfast in the cafe just down the road from the current job from 8 - 9:30 then turn up at job around 9:45, shake head and suck through teeth for 20 minutes while contemplating starting work then say 'any chance of a cuppa?' followed by reading the paper and drinking tea...start work around 10:30 and then slope off back to the cafe about 12, return to 'work' about 2:30 'had to go and collect some materials guvnor' and then finish at 4pm  :p  ;)  :D

You have forgoten about the two hours waiting for the permits to be issued and the scaffolding to be reinspected [cos someone pulled the scaf tag when the gaffers head was turned]

But it doesn't matter if the kettle has been PAT tested or not though

We had our kettle PAT tested this week and the fridge and the microwave... Most important tools on my sites... :D

:down: I've only just found this thread.  Maybe now you'll finally finish your car!  See you at a trackday sometime for that drive of the PPE I owe you.

Best of luck,

John.
