In the end they had to sell their home and move in with one's elderly parents.


They moved in with your parents? You’re a good guy!

My renewal for my car was 20% down too.

I'm not hopeful for the fleet however. Written off brand new vans can't be good for renewals.  :-\

This is an interesting story regarding one of my rich customer's. Each month I did the windows and got a constant, not you again I have just paid you. I knew them well and didn't want to drop them as I cleaned most of the street and it was only £8 a month. In the end they dropped me and the grass cutter guy which I was glad about, because I knew something was not right.

In the end they had to sell their home and move in with one's elderly parents. Later on I found out the lady had a habit of buying stuff and they had to sell the home to pay off here debt. Young girl has the house now and I'm back cleaning the windows.

What I'm getting at, customers believe we need their custom, they don't realise we have many customers but tend to hold on to them if we clean the whole street.
Enthralling!

My slx sections don't spin until they're very old. Do you adjust them correctly (not over tight) & change the shims from time to time? I sometimes even change the springs as it brings back the 'snap' in closing.

Yeah not overnight or too loose.

Is the shim the flat part next to the spring?

It's the tiny dome shaped thing with a hole in it. You can buy them off Gardiners. Where is Mr G, not seen him post in ages.
