Title: What's the earliest?

It's that usual early morning rush to get yourself and kids etc ready to leave the home, would you be happy with a distraction that puts the first part of the day all to rat poo.
Turn up at mine before 8.45 and you're sure to be told to get lost.

Post by: leapstallbuildings on November 17, 2009, 10:33:34 pm: For residential I reckon for me 8.30 is the earliest. However, I do have a number of customers who are happy with earlier starts so if I want to start early in their area, I start with them.
