yeah is the same place. Im doing both sides of all the secondary glazing. and both sides of the original sashes. Its a huge job. It will probably be the last time before she dies. Its one of those one off things. Got scaffolding up because its so complicated, its like a rubbiks cube and on top of that the original and secondary glasing units are broken!!! been on it 7 or 8 full days with 2 men so far!!! when this is all done, it will just be the standard inside and outside clean like you were talking about!
-
forgot to mention, will probs be another 6 days on it. Its all hoovers, scrapers and lots of stress!!!! deep clean stuff and thousands of dead flies!! If your around this way Jeff pop in to see us!
-
Blimey I would need a holiday by now, get depressed with really big jobs. Will have to tell you the joke about his "candle alarm" clock one day.
Keep going its one of those never again jobs. Plus you may get to use the "coat of arms"
-
yes you should tell me. My only complaint is, not even so much as a cup of tea offered!!! well i am lower class!!
-
Keep going its one of those never again jobs
oh dont worry, I will never do a job like this again!!!
-
No tea for us either, and we had to pee in the cannons ;D Keep going will be thinking about you.

that made me burst out laughing!!! hilarious. yes pray for me, i need all the help i can get!!

you've got me interested in your signing now. Forget the picture describe. I presume it has your company name, some mention of window cleaning, and a big phone number, but beyond that does it describe the services you offer or the benefits?
-
Its nothing spectuacular. I designed it myself on Adobe Illustrator and sent the files to the sign writers for cutting, then they applied it. Ive had loads of good comments about it. But part of me is very proud of it, and the other scared of people saying its rubbish!!
-
its a Peugeot Expert, my company name is on all sides as large as possible. Its bi lingual ( welsh and english ) details of my services, massive phone number, website, email and other smaller phone number. And huge oversized drip graphics on all sides
-
Did the signing help you get this current job ?
-
yes, from some other aristocracy!! they saw it, cleaned there place, told her ladyship about us then cleaning hers

I was inside the guest beds wing and working my way slowly along by myself. I have a rule not to touch anything but was in one room when I noticed an 8" long white box about the size of a pencil on a dressing table. On it in big specially bold print it said "Candle Alarm Clock"
Thre e rooms on and my curiosity got the better of me and I sneaked back for a peek ! .........
Furtively opening the box I saw that inside was a standard candle and wrapped around it a piece of paper. What the ????? nothing else !!!
On the paper it said
Instructions.
This candle is graduated in hours, Lie on front insert candle in rectum to required depth.
Light, go to sleep. ;D ;D ;D They must of heard the howls of laughter echoing down the corridors.
