Never seen this much slurry out of Tarmac...

From your first picture I thought 'smudge is into gardening now, thats a grass court...'

Geez, that was wrecked!!

Nice job mate 👍

I've never quoted for that type of work, should I be looking at the standard price for cleaning slabs or slightly more like mono including sanding pricing.

The court is 24x11 meters but then there is the surround so 32x20

These took me a day each !! I wasn't expecting that, however they are bad, so bad I brought a wheelbarrow on day 2 and filled it up over 15 times

I expected to have the pair done in a day - maybe possible if they only need a light clean 🤔

Brushing the surface clean on a dry day would be much better than trying to deal with loads of wet slurry surely?

  Not at all guys wouldn't it be boring if we could not have an old bit of banter now and then. :D :D

Banter is a good thing but can soon turn nasty after all this is ciu  ;D

Anyhow you did well smudger getting those two neglected courts pressure washed in two days.

It still boggles me though why owners of tennis courts let them get so bad. You would think they would have a chap/firm to maintain them properly all year around.

Lets face it most people don't come on here as much these days so the banter is somewhat reduced - I've not been called racist for weeks  ::)roll Chris Snott has been tied up a lot recently and KIevin spends most of his year abroad - in an old folks home in the Bahamas on official company business

Haven't  you got any drains you can bog off to and clean?  If not there is a load of immigrants that need some advice in Calais

It's a holiday park, from what I gather the manager suddenly became concerned about H&S oF the holiday makers 🤔

I like banter ! Might not always understand it 🤓

The Jungle is a flopping holiday park - its just the queue for the five star all inclusive lifestyle they have to endure before they build their mosques, rape the school kids and slash the cattle's throats. And yes I have plenty of work - the immigrants don't seem to want what I do ?

So BDCS I take it you don't maintain tennis courts then?

They follow their leader…“Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed [alone] for two years or so. He married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.”

If I get a call then I'd go and price it.  I mow my tennis court though - I don't live in the park and have to share it with the commoners

Oh so its OK to marry school kids then ?  Consummation at 9 ? No wonder I hate them is it ? Obviously glad to be racist if thats moral in their eyes
