      @@PrestigeExternalCleaning I had a neighbour like that, I was having windows replaced and he did everything he could to obstruct the workers, then when I was having gutters and the uPVC stuff replaced, he started a fight and called police. He said I had "stolen his idea and must be listening to him and his wife talking by using big microphones on the wall". When I got the vertical blinds he made some false statement and had me arrested as his wife's dad was a police officer. I will never forget that, he got home around 5pm, noticed them and was screaming and shouting.
      He was just mad that I had work done and he seemed to think I should ask permission about what I did in my own home, the same as the rest of the neighbours he had rows with.
      He moved a few years ago fortunately, probably Sectioned for the protection of everyone.
      I can sympathise with the sort of people you have to put up with. My old neighbours had mental health issues and used to enjoy handing the workmen brushes and forcing them to brush any tiny little thing up. They used it to their advantage.
      That looks brilliant by the way. My new neighbours had theirs done and I wish they had told me as I would have paid the person to do my roof at the same time!!!!

      Storms are destroying cities around Europe as we speak, but for some people, puddle is an ultimate challenge.
      On a serious note, this was rather unpleasant experience for someone who didn't do anything to provoke this and who takes great pride in his job. I feel clients should step up in situations like this, ensuring safe working conditions for people on their property, not leaving them to deal by themselves with hostile neighbors. I guess ability to look life from funny side is a blessing in situations like this, although not always easy. 'The case of perplexed puddle and taking the time to another level'.

Some man was telling me, years ago, that he was taking a container storage facility job so his contact with humanity would be minimal. And one of my adult daughters commented the other day that there was "something wrong with humans". I replied "Meaning, you're not a human?" "if that is what being a human is, then no" she said. She works in hospitality.

    I am SO IMPRESSED! Really, operating a 20’ (?) long high pressure wand in wind with near-pinpoint accuracy - you must have the arms of Hercules! Beautiful job all around. A few notes …
    1. It looks like dealing with a hostile public might be half the job! Kudos for handling both neighbors with such grace. Most of us would probably just escalate the delicate situations.
    2. I hope you’re using non-conductive (preferably fiberglass) high-gauge ladders in your work. I bought a 14’ (28’ extended) aluminum ladder shortly after I bought my home, to do my own roofwork and window cleaning. When I went to use it, I was shocked how much it flexed just under my body weight (130 lbs)! When I tried to donate it to my painting contractor, he said, “thank you but no,” for those reasons. Between working with water, around utilities, and at such high elevations, your safety is paramount. Further, were I your mother, I’d make you wear a helmet. 😉
    3. I’m curious how exterior home maintenance works for attached homes in the UK. It looked like the entire roof was continuously shingled, yet each unit is responsible for their piece’s maintenance after that? Would some sort of roof tile/shingle masking tape make the delineation between the subject property and the neighbors help?

    • @royboy6890
      @royboy6890 6 місяців тому +1

      The helmet remark reminded me of one of my bosses many many years ago. Our highest building was 200ft tall with a 30x30 ft flat roof and a 3 foot wall around it. Whilst working up there fitting lights on top of the wall the boss came and started ranting about not wearing a helmet. I just looked up into the sky, laughed and carried on.

    I come across neighbours in my job as a gardener who can be as nasty. I'm an Englishman living in Australia, whilst servicing a property last week, 2 or 3 leaves blew onto a man's property across the road, he came out and verbally abused me, I went across to say sorry and remove the leaves, to which he replied after he heard my accent that I didn't belong in his country, and he would beat the crap out of me, plus a lot of other expletives. I guess some people are just plain nasty and have nothing better to do or are angry with everyone else because of their own problems.

    Totally respect tradesman like Nick from Prestige Cleaning, for the undeniable results they produce and professionalism when dealing with members of the public. That neighbour wearing a skirt designed for a hotter climate, was most likely scared of the " magical " long black snake spitting water onto the roof and was worried it might come and drown & then eat him and his family. I work for a large construction company refurbishing social housing in central London, for the past 13yrs, and as part of the management team dealing with the public daily I have come to the conclusion 85% of the public are psychotic/mental most of the time, and even worse after Lockdown.
