thats a big cherrypicker for the job you are doing or is there parts that where higher that you needed it on.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Takes me on my own nearly four hours to empty and wash the outsides including fascias barge boards soffits and windows of a four bed detatched including setting up and packing away. if it's damp i can probably half that time because the green washes off far quicker. I could earn more cleaning windows at those prices. Maybe i'm slow or too fussy or too cheap.  ;D
£120 for four beds are being quoted round my area. Did a two bed yesterday for £50 - easy job but still had to scamper up the ladder and remove a foot of mortar.

I've been a kev r fan for a while, and this is another impressive way forward. One thing i would say, if you don't mind. I think we all made a mistake posting earnings, don't go down that route with gutters.

It's not big money considering the effort involved to be honest. Think how much your missus pays to have her hair set and coloured (or whatever they do) and also consider the overheads of a bigger buisiness like Kevs.

Kevin, do you have the same success rate advertising for windows as you do for gutters?
