Worst Job Ever!

[chilt69]

Had a one-off clean today, which sounded fairly straightforward - 7 windows (with secondary glazing), in & out, all ground floor.

Turn up and the windows are fairly large Georgian sash windows, with 2 panel secondary glazing. It took 6 hours!

Absolutely filthy - apparently the windows hadn't been cleaned in 15 years, with the secondary glazing staying in place all that time as well. Couldn't even blast them with the brush, as paintwork flaking & gaps you could put your finger through.

And to top it all, had to work in the rain/sleet.

 

[OoO]

Did it pay well tho lol

When a job sounds like it’s going to be easy from my experience those are the ones generally that are going to be a real pain in the ****.

Lol, I quoted one the other day, in a rush to get home to park my van. Must have had my eyes closed. Quoted £50 for a conservatory, looked small.

Went back to do it and had to be check the address was right.

3 hours later we have one clean garden centre sized conservatory.

Grumpy cleaner, but happy as hell the customer was.
