Title: Crap jobs
Post by: Bennie25 on July 01, 2008, 08:08:54 am
Does anyone else get fruststraighted with these? I have just had a run of them, I'm talking students end of tenecy (whom dont want to pay much) single rooms, or just one stain they want removing, I do have a min order but still why does so much crap come in and not the good stuff like the 3 peices and mutiple rooms in nice posh areas!

I'm wondering weather targetted leaflets are better for good work? rather than letting work come to you.

Thats life, or business, for ever down there an up, so hopefully you should get a run of good jobs, or a nice earner.
Had loads of single rooms lately nothing big, like whole hoses cos people are moving, could be life, could be the credit crunch

Just been to one, hence I'm not working today, will be going out on my bike soon :)

1 bedroom flat, unoccupied 3rd floor, main road/buslane, parking underground, no lift.

High soiling levels, flattened polyprop.

Did risk assessment, high probability of injuring myself lugging all of my kit up those stairs.

I walked.

Safe and happy biking :):):)

I cleaned a house boat yesterday only the size of a static caravan stuck on top of a big floating barge type thing,access was a bit of a mare but custy was happy and will get me out every year to do them again  :)

Top tip though do not put the dirty foamy water down a saniflo toilet  >:( was not using defoamer put 3 full buckets down the flushed then foam started pouring out the overflow at the top sucked it all back up again waited for a bit then flushed again and it was ok ,very scary though !
She has also told all her neighbours and might get a few more out of it,not quite cruise liner but it`s a start  :)
