Well after months of conversations with family and friends, yesterday was a bit of a sad day, I finally did it and officially closed Procraft DECOR down as a business and with it we begin new ventures!
This year has been tough, Alot as happened outside of work and I can't deny has affected me, Ive found it mentally and physically challenging to keep going at times, although I've had the support a great partner, who's tried her best to keep me together and motivated.
I'm proud of what I managed to achieve though, from starting with nothing much, other then a few brushes and tools. Looking through old photos and posts yesterday, especially in the beginning made me realise how much I did acheive in the 10 years since I stated on my own.
Like to thank all past customers, clients and employees for all your help and giving us a chance to transform your homes, pubs, offices and everything in between!

Over and out!

Another little external job completed this week.. Thankfully the owner did do a bit if prep and scraped off the failing pebble dash and jet washed any loose debris. All walls been stabilised and completed in WRX maisonry paint. Supplied by Peterlee Decorating Centre. From what it was if looks a million percent better.

There's availability next week now also.

Well, this week's been a bit if a wash out, however it's give me time to sort out a few other jobs they I've put off. Like sorting my toolkit and having some well earned rest.

To all you fellow trades... Ever know you've had a tool but can't find it and bought another... Well today sorting van out I've found all 4 of laying off brushes that I've replaced, two seam rollers, three Stanley knives one brand new plus replacement blades! and 4 packs of snap off blades for papering, 3 nail punches, two packs of lining brushes, two boxes of unopened paste and a new dust brush hardly used I swore I'd lost on a job months ago!!!

So think I'm ok for them for near future!! Put them all back in tool boxes.. Until next time I think I've lost them 😂😂

Start of a new week. Nice to be working back near home!

I've noticed lately few tags for us on different community pages. Thanks for the mention whoever it was. Your support is always appreciated.
However we know we have lots of competitors, some of who I know personally, I'd rather us all take our share, we've all got bills to pay and to look out for each other. I believe in working together rather then undercutting each other, it simply becomes a race to be the cheapest, and its not good business sense! !
However, there's some projects now that we just won't do, not because we think it's not worth us doing, but because we either working on bigger projects, or as we've found out in the past sometimes we simply can't make much of a profit, and if there's any unforseen problems eats into the margin. . Sometimes the little projects are the ones that give us the biggest problems.

I know and still keep intouch with lots of local tradesmen, not just fellow decorators. And it's always nice to keep intouch. It helps when you have a network of people you know and trust. Especially if you can all work together.

Recently, I have spent a few days correcting work for a customer who thaught he had hired a fully qualified decorator, turns out he wasn't! Nor had any insurance.
And I've said it plenty of times over the years, always do your homework on anybody you hire. Check for qualifications, insurance etc if your unsure. Me or anyone we employ or work with don't have any issue with that. Better to be safe then sorry.

Lots going on beside work too. But can honestly say for first time in a long time I'm happy, both in my job, and at home. Think I've tried my best lately to change my outlook and stay focused on what I really want out of life.. Was drifting a bit! Alot still to do but from my mental state a few short months ago, I'm feeling a million times better! Lots of northern soul music and laughter helps too! 🤣
