How did it go? It wasn't too bad, was it?
Ok I didn’t really have the time to go into detail earlier, but I’ll go ahead and fully answer this question since you went ahead and asked.... It’s really funny you asked, here’s the full answer, you might find this funny.
Ok so customer dropped off the Hummer this past Thursday night.
We agreed that I could fiddle with a couple of things on it, but I really couldn’t fully dive in until maybe Saturday.. So Sat. comes around and I’m up early getting it prepped for polishing, I had just finished a full bucket wash & clay + dried the vehicle when guess who decides to show up completely out of the blue nextdoor? Yup, my worst nightmare, a freakin Gardener! And not just any gardener to do just any job, but these 3 guys are here to INSTALL the complete yard, front and back with new grass!
As soon as I see them begin to unload their truck I walk over and ask “what are you going to do”?!
He introduces himself and explains and that’s when I explain what I’m about to do and he’s sorry, but there’s really nothing that can stop them since that weekend will be the beginning of a 3 weekend job of landscaping for them nextdoor. I’m Screwed!
Btw, ever since my old neighbor moved out a couple of months ago there’s been nothing but dirt nextdoor, so they proceed to begin to mow straight over dirt in order to prep for their lawn laying. I’m minutes away from starting my polisher and they’re suddenly going to mow dirt!
This is what nextdoor to my driveway looks like. They mowed this dirt and turned my driveway into a dustbowl! Insane.
So I had to act fast! That’s why you’ll notice the background in my 1st pics here isn’t my normL spot... I had to improvise and move the Hummer and detail in the alley!
lol.
When they started on the backyard I moved back to my driveway... the Kia was covered in a thick layer of dirt. It didn’t take long before the Hummer was gradually becoming caked in dirt as well... I spent most of this time working on just the trim.
If you look closely at this pic, you’ll notice how caked the windshield is... The entire vehicle was caked in dust/dirt and this is after I spent all the time washing every inch of it during my prep.
[by this time I had polished about half of it with HD Speed]
I didn’t even bother going outside on Sunday.... All I heard was lawnmowers and could just about breathe the dirt they were kicking up all day...
So Monday rolls around and I’m not even close to being done. I might as well be negative done. Lol. Back to work which means I’ve got like no time to even try. And just when the gardeners weren’t bad enough, look what was suddenly scheduled to happen today... Close the entire block because my luck can only get worse they’re gonna re pave the street! FML.
That’s why I decided I’d had enough of this crap and took a paid day off yesterday to finally getter done! Lol. Otherwise I would’ve never been finished detailing this behemoth Hummer.
So that’s the whole answer to your question of “How’d it go, it wasn’t too bad was it”?
Oh yes it was too bad... And even worse!
But I got it dun!
Thanks for reading. It feels good to get that story off my chest.
lol.
