I will be there for the next 7 days at least.I will let you know when I am on the outside( burley rd ) , as to get on site you have to have a site induction,they are quite keen .But we have dinner in the car park( burley rd ) about 12  . We are there tomorrow .
We are doing phase 2 , we have just saved 2 days as the picker wont reach some of the windows

I was contacted and asked to give a them  price .If we do a good job there is more work from them , as they do lots of builders cleans

That was tricky as I had never done anything that big before. I had done cherry picker wok and had a idea of how long it would take to get x high. So I worked it out that way then added 40% to be safe. I have to admit that some of the windows are higher than I have worked at before and I did not really want the job, so I put in a price that I thought would be rejected, but they didnt . I am more than happy with the price I got for it . But now think should I have gone even higher

Well done mate.

Stick a % on the next one & if you get it you know your still in the zone.

Onwards & upwards.  ::) Sorry, couldn't help myself.  ;D

The section that I am doing tomorrow I am getting paid twice for it.
I had priced for all the job to take up to 2 weeks Monday to Fridays, no weekend work. But today I was told I need to finish the section and Eric Wright would pay me for comming in to do it , so  in effect I am getting paid for the same work twice.
