£17.00 an hour probably paid on a self-employed basis and on Easter weekend

I have lost count of how many times i drove past that building wondering who cleans it.

Exactly right on the payment basis and on those grounds not really that much money actually!

The answer is that no one has been cleaning it!

I reckon you got between £1000-£1200 for that job Alex,if not i aint that far away i know.

Unfortunately not that much 

Well it's just got to be £999 as it's the local nick.

3 hours

I would have been a very happy person if it had taken just 3 hours!!

It took 8.5 'man' hours just to do the hallway wall of glass in the picture.

is there more glass to this than in the pictures?

There is a lot more glass to the job than just these pictures, even the glass wall shown extends by another 12 rows into the alley behind the brick section on the left. This was probably the hardest part of the job as I was working in about a 5 foot wide alley with the pole 45ft above me, getting very wet  and I was having to work around knife-amnesty bins and 'recovered' bikes etc.

2 litres per minute

We were running on about 1.5-1.7 litres per minute. Clever way of calculating it though Dave

ahhh ok, my original estimates are way out then

[Captain Scarlet]

Alex, did you not have problems with the bare Aluminium oxidisng on the glass? Luke

[Alex Gardiner]

Hi Luke,

We had anticipated some problems with this issue, but fortunately all of the proper framed windows were in good condition. The only ones that were a bit dubious were the vertical bars on the walls of glass, which of course did not cause us any problems at all, due to them being vertical.

The hose reel only weighs about 12kg which is well within the capability of a car
