I cleaned a house yesterday, a big un, Ive done it for about 18 months now, never seen the owners, do the house, a cheque arrives in 2 days time
well yesterday, i was in a rush, i didnt clean in the morning had a few things to do (those who know, i went to pick some welding up, it wasnt done, but thats another story), i said to my daughter i would go swimming with her and the mrs, i got back from the metal shop and it had stopped raining, so i had 2 odd hours to kill so went to do this big house (wfp allround)
anyways, the guy came out, and was chatting, a little posh, but a ok fella (house must be worth 1.5 Mill quid)
he asked what the Cart and pole was about, i explained what it was, and he offered me some more work
it turns out he owns 2 manor house hotel/restuarant type of things down near Weymouth (about 2 hour drive from me) i wasnt interested at first, too far etc etc
he then went on to explain he used to have them done by a compay who had pure water van mount, but he didnt like the hoses trailing through and around the place, so he got rid of them
i then explained i had built my own system, this impressed him ALOT, it seems his old man was high up in the army, REME, so he liked the idea of my system
i said i still wasnt really interested, as it meant a fair bit of travel, he said,
charge me what you like, i will pay extra for your travel time, your petrol etc, he even said he would get a porter to carry the barrels and place them around the building
and i can even have my lunch in the restuarant
looks like i could be doing a little travel, all because of my DIY system, and they said it wouldnt work
