I can split my ‘weekend warriors’ clients into two categories:<\/p>\n
* Self builders and<\/p>\n
* Holiday Homers<\/p>\n
The former tend to be working full-time jobs and are only currently available (so that you can see things in daylight) during the weekends. The latter tend to visit their houses or sites over the weekend. As you can see, in order to meet the clients I tend to work a lot of weekends.
