HI JACJAK the property owner not telling you:thumbdown: as he knew the needles where i can say its not good way of going:thumbdown: on jon

 

Tell him the price did not include vat.

 

I hate junkies. Site specific risk assessment, is a must. It takes a few minutes but worth it. Bad enough silky scabbing you, but junky needles...

careful site specific risk assesment with plenty of extra time costed in. i charge for extra risks, also these type of sites usually have security issues regarding theft of kit and need an extra man to watch the tools and keep lowlife away whilst working. i try to avoid if possible or price high enough it is worth your while doing.

I fully agree Skyhuck, accurate and true although little consolation to some, tetanus jabs up to date?? That's always worth checking.

Completely different discovery, a disused cesspit!! Having speedlined the top two thirds of a scotts pine accross the garden we resorted to a little old skool chogging for the stick. All done and when clearing the logs from the flower bed my groundy says 'Have you seen this hole?', thinking it was goning to be a deeper than average divot I looked over and saw a little triangle of blackness!! On closer inspection it turned out to be a hole smashed through the cast iron inspection cover of a long disused pit some 4m deep, and with a chamber wider than could be seen. The lid had been covered by 150mm of soil with an establised lattice of roots etc, the client was as suprised as us. Domestic garden of a house in a 20year old estate, occupiers have had the house from new.

....suspect the unexpected...???
