    Nice one mate .
    I've had a few jobs where I've done a small job for a customer and then received a call to do "a couple of bathrooms" in the properties that they also own and rent out. It's nice when it works out.

    Had just the same thing last week where someone postponed at the last minute then got a phone call, quoted and started the next day. You just need a little bit of luck sometimes. Well done mate!
