Title: Little solar panel cleaning job.
Post by: Rich Wilts on January 29, 2016, 04:22:00 pm: Got a call a couple of days ago enquiring about a solar panel cleaning job. She reckoned there were 36 - barn roof mounted. I gave her a price - over the phone, an estimate as opposed to a quote, which she was happy with. So I went along today. Turns out there were 48 panels and boy were they minging..

It required a re-negotiation. However, she was happy to accept her mistake in the issue ;)

Yes, but all those 2p's add up. Do 10 panels and you get .15p ;D

I was wondering how much you'd earn at the rates Herr SS pays on this place whilst I was doing it. Not a lot by all accounts :o

I don't (mind you I've only done about three solar panels).

Post by: Rich Wilts on January 29, 2016, 10:13:32 pm: My initial estimate for 36 panels was £110 but it might stretch to £140, dependant on varying factors.

I'm hoping this evenings little outburst is because you've been on the sauce "chris turner". Please make sure none of your offensive posts are around in the morning.
