10,000 chairs, you'll have arms like Popeye and you'll still be there next Tuesday ;D
-
Tues in Sept more like LOL! all I can say is - rather you than me ;D
-
Where abouts are you doing it Tony?
-
I'd get that done in a couple of evenings and probably charge £35 total, tops.
;)
-
wow 10761 chairs!!
Me and a mate did 450 the other day in a large cafe....took 2 of us nearly 5 hours...did a darn good job though...we charged £1.25 a chair...if you do the same..then thats over £12 k for you....!
One tip....have a small break every hour or so...or you may get a large break! :'(
-
who has 10761 chairs?
Mike

Could only be a football stadium / exhibition centre, or similar, or maybe not ! Unless you have an experienced team and a big one at that, you will be there for a week !
-
I think Tony meant to say 1761.
-
Still a lot of chairs, even simple ones take a while, should be able to average 20-30/hr if done properly, so thats 60-90 hrs work!
Hope your getting at least £1500 for it
I've got 90 to do on Thursday and that's enough for me.
-
Only getting 75p a chair :o
-
sorry guys i meant 1,761 i worked my nuts off last night 13 hours and managed to get 1300 done some going , it was in gateshead,
sorry but i cannot name places for obviouse reasons
iam cream crackered :P
-
Just referred another job your way this afternoon
-
13 hrs cleaned 1300 chairs ;D ;D ;D ;D
100 chairs an hour , allowing for setting up , tea breaks, toilet breaks etc you would be turning out 2 chairs every 1 minute :o ;D
What did you do clean them or look at them? ;)
geoff
-
no tea breaks mate! not soft!
had a guy set up, watch the machine
its called team work and i was on the trawlers for 6 years
so i have mind over matter , and still turn out quality
-

iam still up after taking phone calls all day, not all work
but dont belittle me ,
as you do not know me,
iam a work horse, never give in
:o
-

dont mean to belittle you,

Might I suggest to you that, You may have exagerated slightly :)

Vanguard, you are clearly a grafter and having suffered a lean time recently, you are quite right to " make hay " but it's not wise to post on superhuman achievements, as people can only guess and surmise.
Hope you make good use of the income from this and the other work mentioned.
-
dont mention it
-
gwrightson,
i do take offence !
i have a job in sunderland nxt week 1250 chairs
i invite you to a screening if you can match mechair for chair you can have my fee?
-
My point exactly!!!!!!!!!
who said I could do that many chairs in that time ? Not me
I said I dont believe anybody can do around 2 chairs a minute , again sorry if I have offended you
not intentional , I can assure you . I just cannot see how its done, perhaps if you enlighten me more on the method, the set up, etc . I may be able to see how

i have to say that even if they were just bar stools they would take me more than 30 seconds each to clean properly and then there is the dumping and filling of water etc. . . . . . .

I don't understand, If you have someone with you and you are a grafter what V has has done is achievable (probably added a few greys working at that pace mind) if you are a grafter. I find on big jobs that I just go into the zone (no toilet or food breaks, carryy water to drink on me) and that helps me get it done quickly and properly. And even at 75p a chair he's just earned £975 (minus costs) for a nights work. Who's laughing really. Good for you Mr V
-
I find it hard to think the standard was the same at the begining to what it would be when you finished due to being so tired if it was hats of to you sir

Judging by the quantity & the fact that you have another job for similar proportions, it sounds as though these are cinema/theatre seats. We all know the state these get into & I would interested to know your system to clean at the rate of 100 per hour.
Perhaps I disagreeumption is wrong. Can you tell us what type of seating you are referring to
-
pete, no doubt vanguard is a grafter, so are many on here but if you have ever cleaned a lot of chairs in one go you will know how tiring it is, not only that but you just cannot clean a dirty seat properly in 30 seconds even if it's a 'bum only' seat, it will take longer than 30 seconds to extract properly, if the chairs are very clean anyway, you might just get away with it. also the ligistics of a large job like that would take time.

nobody can achive this in such a short space of time. Vanguard is living 'the dream' A DREAM!! ;D

Yes we know..................but he has an extra grand to invest in his future, provided that his heart stands the pace.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once seen a video on an American website possibly the Gerkinks site.
Cleaned a row of seating in about a minute with a large oscilating (sp) machine.
But you cant tell how dirty they where to start with or what they looked like afterwards.
Perhaps some of the wiz kids can find it and play it here.

The machine in question is, I believe being imported into the UK in the not too distant future, or so i 'm told.
It's a 11 inch oscillating machine with bonnets and used with encapsulation chems
When I tried to get one recently, I was refused, as they were working on a deal with someone over here..............................but and this is a real irony............I believe the same machine is made in the UK and imported into the US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a fan of this kind of cleaning and if you imagine a slightly heavier version of the ORECK with customised handles zooming over commercial seating, using, encap'...................
You could compete with Vanguard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
