I'd get that done in a couple of evenings and probably charge £35 total, tops.

wow 10761 chairs!!

Me and a mate did 450 the other day in a large cafe....took 2 of us nearly 5 hours...did a darn good job though...we charged £1.25 a chair...if you do the same..then thats over £12 k for you....!

One tip....have a small break every hour or so...or you may get a large break! :'(

Could only be a football stadium / exhibition centre, or similar, or maybe not ! Unless you have an experienced team and a big one at that, you will be there for a week !

Still a lot of chairs, even simple ones take a while, should be able to average 20-30/hr if done properly, so thats 60-90 hrs work!

Hope your getting at least £1500 for it

I've got 90 to do on Thursday and that's enough for me.

13 hrs   cleaned 1300 chairs ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
100 chairs an hour  , allowing for setting up  , tea breaks, toilet breaks etc   you would be turning out 2 chairs every 1 minute :o  ;D

What did you do clean them or look at them? ;)

Vanguard, you are clearly a grafter and having suffered a lean time recently, you are quite right to " make hay " but it's not wise to post on superhuman achievements, as people can only guess and surmise.

Hope you make good use of the income from this and the other work mentioned.
