OMG! I think I might just die of shock. I actually had a marvelous, prima, "wunderbar" experience today, with a hired hand!!!
Our driveway is practically immaculate! Our (what was once) white fence - spank'n new! Bright white! All the green mold, algae? Gone! Our deck is nice and clean, spider-webs gone.
I am a happy camper today. I am so grateful! A "simply maaaahvelous" job was done! I will be singing this man's praises, till..... who knows when! Thank You, God for this man. (don't know if he'd want me telling his name)
Who is this man? Well, he's an elderly gentleman, probably in his 70's. He's a neighbor, and handy-man that many in our subdivision rely on. What's amazing about him, is he takes his time - he's not out to make $50-$100 per hour. He had knee surgery recently, so he really took his time, with many breaks (which I insisted on) but without any chemicals, he cleaned each & every tile on the driveway and sidewalk, having that greasy dirt and a bit of mold (up by the garage) come up like nothing.
His price? $60!! We gave him more. Plus, he said he'd be here at 9:30, he was here at 9:00.
I mean, can you believe it?!! This is a man with integrity. A man with a great work ethic - a man who's not out to take people, but believes in a doing the best job he can do at a truly fair price. A man, who takes pride in his job. I don't think they make 'em like him anymore. Man, what a breath of fresh air! The other 2 guys who work for our subdivision, they could stand to take a few lessons from him, especially the one guy - he's just totally out to take you.
I wonder if he's got a son - I'll have to ask. I sure hope so. He really should pass his work ethic & values on. We need more people like him.
