Post by: Pj on April 03, 2008, 09:05:24 pm
Well, on the forum about 6.30 am. A word with Ian Giles (He'll confirm) ;D

Arrived at first job  15 minute drive just before 8 am.

Me and my better half cleaned inside the communal areas of this.  Hard job!  Finished about 10.15 am.  Had a chat on the phone....

Wifey went off on her own to do another inside job!  She's a gem!

I proceeded to have a cup of tea. :D
Then I went to next job, 5 mins away.

That is it!  Phew!  Tough day for me.  
Just enough time to pop round to a very good friend (who doesn't seem well when I arrive) for a surprise bit of cake and scrounge some 'O' rings because supplier didn't reply.

Pj I didn't mean to insult you it was a light hearted comment that I see could be taken as sarcasm sorry I've removed the post.

115 readers and only 2 comments?

Thought I'd share a bit for some who might be glad of it.
I would have been amazed to be able to see this when I started in 1987.
Times have changed.  Not for the better.  Maybe People have just got greedy?  Time will soon tell.
I see why Steve K gave up!

Poor old boy sitting there... He asked me, " Is it trouble with the drains again?"

I said, "Nope, I'm cleaning the windows".

He said, "Oh good, clearin' the weeds.  About time too!"

I didn't see a weed! :(

And the poor old fella was listening to the radio? God knows what he must hear when he's listening to it.
The old Cineese whisper springs to mind Lol (Send 3/4d were going to a Dance) ;D

20 minutes for lunch!! thats a luxury!!! I never stop for lunch, I just eat on the run. Stopping for lunch costs me money in lost earnings.
But thanks for sharing your day with us!! Although it would have been nice to see you and your wife in some of them to break up the monotony of all those windows!!!

??? Are you really that desperate for money?
I thought you said you were minted because you were so great.

I'm not doing that special, but I'm not so poor that I need to give up my hour for lunch. ???

Read carefully, my wife left me to go on another job soon after 10 am.  I'm alone, which you don't wan't to see.

A lunch break is necessary when I've had a serious heart attack 4 years ago and got coronary heart disease (30% down on coronary arteries)  and only 54.  
I'll be glad to struggle on with those in my class ;)

That home is exactly like one a few miles from where I live. The style of the brickwork and everything. They must build them to a formula.

Good post, and a nice little job.

Go ahead Dave, but if I look the worse for wear I'll have to say in my defense it was the cheap plonk you made me drink! ;D


mbs It's an 18' universal, yes probably the old one, about 2 - 3 years old now.  I quite like the weight of it, I'm used to it, it's almost had it.
Get yourself one of Gardiners new SL-X when they finally arrive.  CF very light, telescopic.
