'That'll be £140 thankyou'
'Thankyou, no problems ?'
' No, just your two fronts fitted'
'Balanced ?'
'Yes, always'
Drove 20 yards and phoned the wife..
'Excellent, no more steering wobble'
The two front tyres were due but I'd developed a very distinct twitch in the steering wheel at very low speed..nothing really at normal speed. I worried there was something amiss....but probably just a balance weight fallen off. Result.

Woman on phone: Hi, I'm sorry to call so late but I was given your number by xyz, I understand you do work for them.
Me: Yes I do their work and they also pass my name on to their customers who want work doing.
Woman: Can I ask some advice?
Me: Sure. Fire away.
Woman: Goes on to describe a job she is doing herself and she is struggling with.
Me: After asking her various questions about what she is trying to do, I go on to tell her what she should be doing and give her some tips as to how to proceed.
Woman: I have been doing this all evening and I am getting nowhere, it's a complete mess. I could really do with having an expert finish it.
Me:OK
Woman: How much would it cast me if you did it for me?
Me: I would charge £40 per chair to do them.
Pause
Woman: REALLY? But it's not a big job. I mean it would only take someone like you 10 mins to do each chair.
Me: It would take quite a bit longer than 10 mins per chair but even so you would be paying me to do something you can't do, or don't want to do. I have a living to make.
Woman: But it's a very simple job.
Me: Well you have been doing it all evening, it's now 9.30 so it obviously isn't quite so simple. You haven't even done one chair yet.
Woman: Yes but you know what you are doing.
Me: Yes I do. That's why I would charge you £40 per chair.
Me: Yes I do their work and they also pass my name on to their customers who want work doing.

Is that 6 tons dry, or wet?!
My work is at NT's house, in the attic guest room. Being an attic, the isn't a single decent sized bit that hasn't got corners or slopes.
What/where is the lime project?

About 6 tons maybe a bit more though with first and second coat
That is 6 one ton bulk bags so wet weight
Project is a special one!
A Tudor style house built from scratch by my dad in our field because we need a bigger house so that I can have my own bedroom to store my bikes in and have a tiny bed!
