I wish it was motorised smurf, it takes 2 hours to wind it along from end to end by hand, and that's if it doesn't  jam up on the way, the job looks good but it's an absolute ball ache

Doing it with a friend who's also a windy

3 of us working along next to each other, monotonous maybe but not boring.

Due to weather, well mainly winds as the pouring down rain we had recently helped us out a bit it's taken a bit longer than expected

Am not as rich as some of you an only the 1 van on the rd, so I have to take wot ever work comes my way  ......... As they say beggars can't be choosers

Finished today. To be honest customers aren't bothered about 'Christmas clean' as pure water means the windows are still clean.
Loads o red wine this year,  must be about 20 bottles now.
About £50 in cash. Oh well it should be a merry Christmas.
Happy Christmas everyone and a prosperous new year to us all!

The logistics of cleaning something like that must be very challenging too so I'm not surprised it's taken longer than expected so far play to you. They say there is always a light at the end of every tunnel...hmmmm or is that in your case a train?

Matty best just to keep focused on what you are all doing and keep yourselves safe.

Merry Christmas bud  ;)

I didn't realise u was mates with John ........ Last post of urs I read about him u was pulling him apart over not getting paid ........ Maybe he seen pics I put up earlier in the year done a bit of lurking and tried to jump in ............. Who knows  8)

I should imagine there was hundreds of bids that went in but I suppose the right people for the right job goes down well

It's funny that u mention john, as I wanted Gav to jump on these jobs with me but he now works for John

And now that I know he's also bidding on them I do think It would work

It's like David and Goliath  ;D

We'll finish early PM tomorrow. We have a big country house to do between us. I've lost 3 days in the last two weeks with hospital appointments, plus my one worker had 5 days holiday to use up which I hadn't realised! I was hoping to have all December's work done, but as it is we are going into the holidays a day's work behind. At the moment it doesn't seem too important.

If the weather holds I'll be out tomorrow. My own fault for going on holiday for the first two weeks of December!
