Albert,
My problem would be the customer.6mths i okay, but i have a feeling that when you turn up it wont be right, she will want you to phone so she can okay it.She will have to be in, it will have to suit her, it may be longer than six months, and she will probably call you etc.

In view of her comments, and i'm guessing it hasn't been cleaned in a few years, she won't keep you anyway.

On that basis i wouldn't hold my breath.

What would it matter if you got double your hourly rate? Just price as a one off.

Because Steve you turn up six months later and she claims to know nothing about you, she never made any such arrangement, and besides she is going away for a month.If you contact her again just before christmass they may need doing then.

Ah, but I wouldn't just turn up. I would text the day before. If she wanted to cancel she could & it's bye bye from me. If I turned up & got sent away I would indeed be ped off.

  Hi
  for those with full schedules why not take some one on or find a good subbie to do these jobs.

  at 2 and 3 times normal rates you could pay them top money and still make great money for yourself for five minutes on the phone.

  i have a factory its every other year!!! but they get me in when they cant see daylight anymore. its great because they arent going to come properly clean,they arent expecting it to. they just want the thick off to see again. it rinses straight off. one of my best hourly rates, because i charge a fortune for it but they arent bothered because its only once in awhile. and they arent going to complain becuse the improvement is dramatic.

i wish i had 500 jobs like them, just trip round in a two year cycle one a day. would be minted and stress free.

 i think ians figure of 3 times is spot on allows for any disruption and travelling plus dig out time.

cheers

I assume she could be a messer because initially she agreed to 8 weekly then went to 26 weekly, that is more messer than agreeable IMO.
