Title: Hiding the evidence
Post by: Nick on January 28, 2022, 01:16:34 PM
Main problem with property is "water in the wrong place".

Last year a gutter downpipe burst and flooded the exterior brickwork. It soaked through and blew off a load of paint around my bathroom window. Now I am selling I want to minimise haggling things, so I called my trusty decorator :thumbsup:

He came yesterday and looked at the damage. "You are selling and want that to disappear?"

Yup

"Easy. I will come at 1.00 tomorrow and vanish it. Will take me 30 minutes.  £50 cash?"

Job done  :thumbsup:

Also a monument to why patents are so old hat.  They never patented it but relied instead on trade secret.  I spent so many years of working as TD explaining to American owners why we weren't going to patent anything.  9 times out of 8 it just gives the opposition the lead on how to outperform you.


Back on topic, are we certain Nick isn't putting WD-40 in the holes in the wall and polyfilla on the hinges?
