00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: what's the roofing manual called? Ah, whatever it's called, it

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: is really complicated. You need to be switched on when

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: it comes to root thing.

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,240

Speaker 4: Understand or follow?

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: No, it's not so. A lot of the trade is

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: whether the tradees aren't smart.

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360

Speaker 2: at you funny because you've got your high vision.

31
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that, Hayden?

00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: See then you were making you're making money a lot

Speaker 2: earlier than it or you're making a lot a lot

48
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: of money a lot earlier than all of your mates.

49
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: I would say, yeah, but I've spent eight years as

50
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,440

51
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: Wow, Chris smart, you're a smart cat.

52
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: And Chris, have you got your own business now?

00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,240

Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha. Well this is this is what I'm looking for.

56
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: All right, These are the misconceptions.

57
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: You know what. I think the other misconception too about

58
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: traders is that you need to be really quite creative,

59
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: don't you, Chris?

60
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: Well, it helped, but I leave a creativity to the clients.

61
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: But you're you're problem solving the entire time.

62
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's think.

63
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Hey, just before you go, Chris, here's another misconception. Trades

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: are ripping you off? Ever ripped anyone off before?

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: Oh?

66
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that.

67
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: Mick Fitzgerald's called the show.

68
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,640

Speaker 4: I certainly am.

71
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they ever quoted before a couple of times. You've

72
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: got to do it every now and then, but most

73
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: of the time we do.

74
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: It for free and we give back what we've taken anyway, exactly. Hey, Simon,

75
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you this one. When you're doing

76
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: jobs for mates? Does that suck? Do you hate because

77
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: that you know, you're basically doing the job for free.

78
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, But it's for a mate, and as long

79
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: as it doesn't happen all the time and consistently.

80
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: It's not too bad, simon. Enjoy what we do, so

81
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: we don't mind doing that.

82
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: Do you quote higher around Christmas time when things are

83
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: wrapping up?
