And all because we love our work
« on: May 16, 2007, 05:08:35 pm »
This customer was desperate for a W/C, So called in on the way home to give her a price

After doing a method & risk assesment, I decided to double the price for this clean, I also told her if she cuts down all the nettles for my next visit, I will drop it to £25

'OMG' its a Jungle, as you can see in the pictures, 
I had to wade through stinging nettles just to do the upstairs window and the patio door, around the side of the house was no better, and I was stung to death.

Jeff,

I would've avoided those nettles like the plague.

You're a tougher bloke than me.

It did help to some extent, but if you look at the pictures, I couldn't stand to the right because of the house and if I stood to the left, I would have had to walk and stand on all the builders rubble, this posed more of a risk than standing in all the nettles.

And one little tip I can give all members with the swivel brush, and that is fit your own brass jets, this gave me a better flow than the original ones fitted.

Yompin was much easier, than this Job ;D ;D

I am over the moon with the pole, I stuck a few more pictures of it in use, up on the T/A forum.

My boss suffers from muliple sclerosis, and  today when she was out with me, she gave the new pole a go, she was so impressed with it, she cleaned our windows when we got home ;D well worth the money Just for that. ;D ;D

Like you said the clamps are the corgi's conkers, easy to operate and no more catching on the guttering.
I can also see my old pole gathering cob-webs now.
