The work entailed: - Removal / replacement of one lockset (took 15 min.), - Lowering of a latch plate in another door (chisel & wood filler work - took 25 min.) - Removal of over 100 feet of lights that had been individually glued to the 1st & 2nd stories of the brick, & removal of the glue from the brick (took 80 min.), - Removal of a wreath from the front of the home (took 2 min.), - Removal of over 50 feet of lights from each front oak that had been wound around and through the tree branches to 12 feet above ground level using an amazing quantity of staples (took 35 min. per tree) - Removal of a half dozen net lights from bushes, plus removal of lights along both driveway borders (took 15 min.), - Removal of lights from the boat dock handrail and ballisters, including removal of the staples (took 30 min), and - Removal of icicle lights along 3 sides of the back porch roofline (5 min.) The above durations exclude time spent initially reviewing the work needed, and discussions of how long the work should take. Light strings and wreath were placed on the front porch, as instructed. When I called after the purchase of the Two Hour Deal, Mrs. [Member Name Removed] stated that the removal of Christmas lights should only take an hour. When Mr. [Member Name Removed] discussed the work with me upon arrival and as work progressed, he repeatedly objected to my time forecast. I practically begged him to call someone that he would be happier with. But he wanted me to do the work, and paid based on my estimate when the work was less than halfway complete. I worked steadily with a strong sense of urgency, taking no breaks. All work was completed within the 4.5 hour estimate, with only 5 minutes to spare.
