Title: Nice suprise today.
Post by: Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle on June 16, 2012, 02:42:55 pm
Well I called into a farm today to buy some logs & kindling. I was having a chat with the guy and mentioned I am a window cleaner.

He asked how much I charge, so I offered to give him a price. Well, looking at the front of the house, I was thinking £20, expecting the back to be the same. So I walked round to check   :o

The back was covered in glass, so I offered him the price of £50 every 8 weeks. The fellow nearly snapped my arm off, should of said £60  ;D

So that has cheered me up on the wet day, and im already past halfway of my 'target' in the first few weeks (check signature)

Nice one mate, love instances like this.

I was quoting a retail shop the other week, and one of the workers asked for a quote on their domestic property. Went round straight away to her address expecting a small terrace. Found a big 4 bed detached with conservatory! Went back to shop and quoted her.

Right place, right time things really cheer us up eh? :)

Got the mrs & kids stopping tonight, so they wanna see the new logburner fired up.

Plus, with the house not fully decorated & furnished, it does get colder than you would think  ;)
