Sometimes things just look right




Marcus knew exactly what he wanted, and who was I to argue! I'll kick myself for ever for being too honest with my pricing, I'm still trying to get my hand back after he bit it off! I should've guessed that I was cheap when he enquired what the extra for installation was, lol. Still, I'd rather be consistently fair and sleep well at night than be a con artist who views clients individually on what they can be fleeced on.

London Yellow 'stock' bricks aren't always the best to drill in to, and installing two awnings at exactly the same height so close to each other is harder than it looks too. It's easy to get them straight, and it's easy to get them up but you need to know where the 2nd one's going before you even start the first. I love these images and use them regularly in my publications.

Strangest thing here was that I only met Marcus for 1 minute as he shot off to work. The entire deal had been struck on the phone and by email. A photo of the house was enough, and Marcus's measuring skills were top notch. I wasn't sure how grey and white would look against a cream backdrop but the finished result looked stunning
