Hi everyone - PaulH1966 - 03-02-2016
Hi all..
I've been a mortgage & insurance broker for the last 20 odd years but alongside that been a very keen diy-er so have experience of jobs from small to quite large.. never been afraid to tackle anything..
Have fitted quite a few kitchens for myself, family and friends and have even been asked by some of my mortgage Clints (many of whom end up as friends so get to see my fitting work) if I would do thiers!!! Up to now I have resisted and refused but I get far more enjoyment out of fitting and general carpentry work than I ever have from my day job!!!
So... I've decided to dip my toe in the water and say yes next time I'm asked and hopefully get to the point where I can split my time 50:50 between fitting and my mortgage business.. Well.. it's about time I put my tools to some productive and gainful use!
Have picked up loads of useful info and help from KFF in the past and long may it continue.. so thought it was about time I actually introduced myself

Welcome ..... funny that, currently I have a damp guy doing some work on my showroom and he also used to be a mortgage and insurance broker when for very similar reasons switched to working on the tools when the housing market crashed in 2008 !!

A lot of us suffered after the crash but quite a few of us survived!! lol The mortgage & insurance side of things is ticking over, will never make me rich but keeps the wolves from the door! I just get far more of a buzz from seeing the end result of a weeks hard work than I do from the stress of sorting peoples mortgages out.. I'm in a good position too as, unlike a lot of people starting up, I have 95% of the tools I'll ever need and after being self employed for the last 16 years know what to expect, have a way of earning money regardless of the fitting work coming in and am used to dealing with the dreaded 'cash flow'.. so no nasty shocks!!
Thanks for the welcome everyone
