diary continued...boring day!!
« on: January 17, 2006, 04:46:28 pm »
hello again ;D

Brush on first window at 9.30am in a cul-de-sac of semi detached where I do 7 of them all WFP. I`ll just do the 1 photo as they are all identical.


BANG ON 2 hours later, I am packed up and ready to go to next run.
Before I go, one of the customers tells me they received an unsolicited quote through the letterbox...fronts only at £12.00!!
Fantastic if you can get that but I do whole house for £8.00 (1 at £10)and do 3 and a half an hour with no rush...good luck to them, made me think about an increase for these customers!! ;)

Drove up to near Penny Lane where I think a trolley will be SUPERB for this road. It`s one way with little alleys between the houses and difficulty moving ladder from front to rear. All the houses are WFP friendly and I have to do them all trad. They are quite small and I do 4 an hour.
On this road, I have 10 full cleans at £7 each and 2 front only at £4 each.






I think a trolley will enable me to double my speed in this road EASILY ;D

So I was overjoyed to get home (at 2.30pm today!!) and have my trolley waiting for me...£30 including VAT and delivery...




I cannot wait to start tinkering at the weekend :D
No need to make water tonight...still half a tank left in van.
9.30am - 2.30pm and covered 8 miles.

Steve,

I think your picture diary is great.  I'm sure loads are thinking of doing the same.
But, thinking back to when you were younger, did you ever think you'd live to see the day when you'd hear yourself say that you were "so overjoyed" when your RED SACK BARROW! arrived in the post!!!!  

Ferrari?   No..RED SACK BARROW ;D ;D ;D
