Its only half of unit 2.

The customer has told me to go ahead with the job when I can, as doesnt want a quote as they trust me, as also clean their house windows.


One man, im thinking it will take 6-7 hours?


Any ideas on the removal of that quality graffiti would be apprecated aswell

I would always agree a price just in case the client thinks it will only take a few hours and get a suprise when he is billed for as long as it takes! No hard feeling then!

Should have tried a section see if it came off easy or hard and how long it took then estimate from there.
Just a thought

I was just about to suggest the same method Cliff.
Do quantum mechanics fix old transits?

And let us not forget, voyeurism is an occupational hazard that we simply must endure.

You need to TFR that first as well. Unless you have hot in which case use both.

If its only half of unit 2 showing Id be thinking along the lines of nothing less than 3 man days. .

Yeah, the clean half of unit 2 had been cleaned by someone else the other day.

Where is best for 'TFR'? What is it?



So you reckon it would roughly 24 hours?

I reckon there's 3 days in that WFP - - if you can get away with softwashing the majority you might get it done in one day,...
