    I often think life would be easier as a builder, get out in the fresh air and do something active, very little thinking and then I could build my own extension. Maybe one day hey

      Cheers Farmer, you country folk always have the answers! I have a second hand PC which I was considering putting on Windows XP Pro. But we've decided to go with Linux....I shall check out freeNAS.
      I got my machine from a local charity (hyndburn used furniture) - Blatant AD

            Hey it's not up to the builder to think, that's up to the architect or the site manager. They say build a wall here and the builder just does it!!!

                I get it now. Maybe you should consider living somewhere like Mumbai whre you can be a developer and develop straight from the spec without thinking.

                  You saw you are trying to see a builders work through a devs eyes, doesn't work like that. Fred the builder will quite happily build whatever you want if you tell him to, he'll then come back and take more money in about a year and rebuild it once it's fallen down


                  Then again that's much how wipro work isn't it.... Write any old crap and then get more money to write it again in a years time......
