Wednesday:

Priced up living room , stairs and hall. (bulk standard house btw)
Talked through the process etc then dropped the price on her of £95 and that the earliest I could do it was next Friday at 2pm.

Responce I got...
"Oh do you think you'll get all that done in an afternoon?"

I nearly pmsl 

[Simon Gerrard]

Well you are rather old. Perhaps she thought it was too much for you.

I know, it's the rope pull start on the TM that is doing that
Must get one those magic electric start thingies, and wip the wife harder to pull out all that 2 inch hose.
TBH if it takes 1.5 hours I'll consider that taking it easy

Neil, how are you finding the increase in productivity? Are you wishing you made the change ages ago now? Would you go back to a porty?

[davep]

Saying that I recleaned stairs landing 3 bedrooms today that a car valeter "cleaned" 2 weeks ago. Took days to dry and stunk, took them 30 minutes originally

I'm extremely organised on jobs so was quite quick even with the scorpian, the key to quickness now as far as I can workout is (1) not having to run out 3 electric cables and (2) not having to go out to the van every 20 minutes to drain off the waste tank.
Would I go back to a porty? As a rule No, although I've kept the scorp as a useful backup and there will still be some jobs which would be more suitable to a porty.

I sometimes get 'will it take you a couple of days' errr no about an hour actually

Had a woman call this morning asking me for a price to clean a 30ft x 12ft lounge but will it take all day like the last guy and I don't want it wet through like last time, wtf was he doing all day?

It's whip by the way not wip and it would be nice not to have to run down the pavement like a wailing banshee trying to start the beast with the rope pull, whilst you chase me with the whip
As for pulling out your 2" hose........

Close Jim move the decimal point and add a bit

Just had a guy on the phone who was willing to pay £180 for a carpet to be cleaned but only wanted to pay £50 for a 3 seater and 2 chairs to be cleaned that did make me laugh.
