Here we go first job of the day is a car showroom. I think this is the kind of place the Shiner has just quoted for as he said in another post.

We arrived at 730am and left at 9.00

All the outside & inside glass was cleaned.

I wondered the same, I have six showrooms to do and the floors are treacherous when wet. I couldn't see the bottom of the ladder what was it on?
if it is dirty it is fair game

The ladder (ramesy ladder) is only used for this job and is fairly new so the feet grip really well to the floor.

Hi stu,

Thanks for sharing your pics with us. Always nice to see others work.

I see you have a hose reel outside the van at the foot of the steps at the hotel. How on earth do you find that? Does it not fall over when you yank the hose around the corners? I would love to do that but i'm afraid it would fall down all the time.

Matthew

P.S. hows the backpack going?

Alright Matthew

The hose reel only falls over now and then but if you pull it slowly then it will be fine. i find it easier with it being lose, as you can see i can move the reel into better positions then with it being fixed in the van.

As for the back pack i only use it once a month on that control tower job. Don’t really like it that much but i got no choice but to use it!

Filled it right up to the top the other day and put it on my back, i almost fell backwards cos of the weight  :o ;D

How’s that big holiday home coming along? You cleaned it yet?

You moved in yet ;D
