    Default Grand Lady

    Working at a young couples house tiling an on-suite. Arrived this morning a little bit later than normal after picking up some materials, the lady was leaving, said hello and drove off. Went into the house and she had put down my stair runner with safety stair rods up the stairs, my dust sheets along the landing also in the bedroom where the on-suite is. Went into the kitchen and a brew all ready for me.

    It dos'nt get better than that

    We just finished a job for a nice couple from the UK. Each morning at about 1030 they brought coffee and a treat for us, and then each day at about 300 we got the full deal-coffee, fruit, freshly-baked pastries, cookies, juice, and other delectables. They are a retired couple and were a real treat to work for.Too bad that they don't have more work to do in their house.
