I was just wondering if anyone has ever been asked to price up other jobs?
I had a call the other day from an elderly lady wanting gutter/sofits cleaned , that wasn't a prob but the next Q. got me thinking have i been advertising handyman srvs too
because she asked me to fix boken sofits and to locate and fit bird guard to chim stack
is it me or what
Ps quoted her £85.00 She was happy & she pays cost of bird guard!

the guy i brought my round off used to do alot of other work
gardening and handyman type of stuff
as a carpenter i have often thought of adding the option, but i dont have the time

I've occasionally done other work but I think small jobs don't pay as well as w/c - it's difficult to get over £20 an hour and with some of the old dears you end up buying the (eg) paint/cement/sandpaper too - which takes time.
I avoid anything not pole related like the plague.
But once in a while an old dear who's been a long time customer and always makes tea and gives biscuits pleads for help and in I cave!
