I wish I'd done it years ago.

Hi Guys

Stopping playing computer games and started building websites instead.

One Sunday I spent 4 hours blowing up lots of creatures and felt what a waste of time that was.

Decided to buy and build a website.

1st 4 Carpet Cleaning was born and I have been busy ever since.

Cheers

Doug
