Lol it'll be X amount providing the access is straight forward etc,I think it's foolhardy to quote over the phone I would rather say send me pictures of all 4 sides of the property please including Velux Windows if any.

What Susan Dean meant ...

Laugh out loud (I) provided a quotation over the telephone to clean some gutters for eighty pounds as I knew the place. Well I thought I did. Seven hours it took! Oh well, lesson learned the hard way(.)

Hope that helps.  ;D

I cleaned a house covered in Boston ivy for about nine months before the leaves died back to reveal a window I'd never seen, let alone cleaned.

@Spruce

I've no idea. Tosh has posted nothing in the moderators' section to the effect he's taking time out so I surmise one of three possibilities.

1. Over the new year a couple of posters were even stronger in their "verbal" responses or in initiating strong comments towards him and I wonder if he had a "stuff it I'm off!" moment.

2. He realised he was addicted to the forum - nearly all his stuff was in the "any other rubbish" section and with a bit of (1) above piquing him he had a "stuff it I'm wasting my life on CIU" moment.

3. He's chasing Helen up and down pylons.
