I'd be on to it by now.The likelihood is that he doesn't fancy the work, for whatever reason, and as I was self employed for 28 years I pretty much know the reasons why people don't get back to prospective clients. Most self Employed people or sole traders are all over the place, rarely organised and living on a prayer. It's not all their fault, and they will take on too much work or just look at jobs they really can't fit in just to see if they can make some quick money on them, cash flow is a constant problem. Anyway, good luck finding someone 👍
