    12 minutes in the car (15 if the traffic's bad) or 30 mins cycle through the woods.

      In the countryside for me.

      Could probably earn more elsewhere but I hate commuting and hate hotels even more.

        Up at 6am, work for a couple of hours, perform ablutions, get to client site for 9, home by 6pm. So 12 hours.

          Two hours each way on the train (Southampton to Canary Wharf), then 9 hours or so at work. You have to develop a strategy or else you'll cream-cracker yourself.

                That's either no ordinary house or no ordinary walk. I will keep everything crossed it's the former.

                  Commute varies but normally 90mins each way with a 10 hour work day.

                  But that is the norm for permie in construction.

                    When I've had builders round doing extensions, they arrive just before 10am, have two hour lunch breaks in the pub/betting shop, 4 x 15 min tea and fag breaks, and start packing up at 3.30pm

                    I don't think you've got this construction lark quite right if you ask me....

                      That’s the difference between residential & commercial construction and management & operative .
