Not to mention the kids toys, castle, swings, trampoline etc. I have always been pretty rough with it and never used a catcher because of the sh1t. But it's always been left lookin neat and tidy after I'm done. And the client herself is really nice. It's a job that is the only one in this particular suburb which is out of the way and always takes around 90 minutes to complete. But I've held on to it out of loyalty and as a reminder not to under quote jobs. But today I turned up to do it and it' a bit overgrown as I have not been able to get there due to the weather. So it's a week over due which is my fault. Anyway I do the edges out the front, all good, and head out the back and start whipping down the longest areas which are about a foot and a half in some sections. Then BANG! Sh1t all over my face, in my eye, in my mouth, on my bloody teeth, all over my pants, shirt etc. That was enough for me. Machine off, gate slammed, inappropriate language, wash off, tools away, in the car and never to return. The most traumatic experience I have had since starting work in this industry 13 years ago. On the bright side that was my last remaining dogsh1t client. GONE!
