Diesel at $6.35: Contractors Need to Plan Ahead
Roger Wakefield's most-watched new upload looks beyond the pipes to the truck parked outside. In "Diesel at $6.35: Contractors Need to Plan Ahead", he argues that contractors cannot keep pricing jobs using last year's fuel assumptions.
The clip comes from his October 28 Trade Talks Live discussion, which cited a reported national diesel average. "This isn't a spike that you wait out," he says. It has drawn roughly 9,000 views, the largest total among this week's new uploads, and remains the busiest video on the channel right now.
That business-minded thread continues in "Finished the Job? Stop Being the Customer's Bank". Wakefield's point is concrete: agree payment terms before starting, collect at completion on service calls, and know the payment schedule for larger projects. It's among the channel's most active uploads alongside the diesel clip and his burst-pipe guide.
Homeowners got their own checklist. "Weak shower? It's not your water pressure. Check these three parts." starts with the showerhead screen, then moves to the cartridge behind the handle and possible valve or line problems. His burst-pipe upload puts shutting off the main water supply first, with electrical safety ahead of photographs and phone calls.
Across the channel, daily viewing is running noticeably above its usual level, though subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby in size, THE FLIPPED PIECE and WeldTube are also seeing above-usual daily viewing. Wakefield's particular mix remains practical in two directions: fixing the customer's plumbing and keeping the contractor's business workable.
