Repeat Business

Most people do not realise that doing their house all at one time is much less expensive than doing it in bits and pieces. It is mostly about the efficient use of time. I cannot count the number of small projects we have done in this house over the years. There are still areas that remain undone, but they are few. The lady of the house had to clear every one of our projects with her husband who was on the verge of retirement and was not sure how much money he needed to live after he stopped working. She would eventually pay us from her meagre day care wages. She wanted desperately to do the whole house but her thinking was that her husband would not object to small amounts but would 'freak out' at the price of doing the whole project at once. He is now retired and my work there has come to an end. Oh well, it was a very long drive.
