[QUOTE="elvis, post: 77703, member: 2175"] Likewise with most of the guys, Nightmare... you go to see the job and faced with old couple who have been in the house for thirty years filling every space possible with very pretty and very breakable ornaments, pictures, mirrors etc. It adds a huge amount of time. Shifting furniture from one room to the other then back again, carpets need doing sometimes. Will do it all as required and always consider the time factor when quoting for jobs like this. At least one person made this point, but be very wary of the punter who tells you they are going to be your labourer and move all furniture, lift floor boards, raggle walls etc. In my experience they very seldom do and when they do, they can just get in your way. Takes them 45 mins to lift a floorboard, longer to do a raggle and you generally have to finish it off when it comes to boxing out anyway. A definate knack to the old raggling and it becomes very trying, very quickly to the uninitiated! When they spit the first bit of brick out of their teeth they usually, very suddenly, find something very important to buy at the shops! [/QUOTE]
