Default $25 trailer wash.

Came home from work yesterday to find a guy pressure washing the house next door. It seems a company that deals in foreclosed or unwanted properties now owns the place. Bummer.

Anyway, walked over to the guy and asked for a quote on the curbs, driveway and sidewalks. Quote came in way too high. Seems the guy works for a company that owns the equipment... he's not an independent operator.

"So how much just to rinse off the camper real quick?"

"Ummm, I could knock that out real quick for $25"

"Ever done a camper before?"

"Umm, no, this is the first one" Which is what I figured, because he only wanted $25. He's going to put the $25 in his pocket and not give his boss his cut. So I'm game.

"OK, well, I'll be here with you to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Sure, OK"

So the poor guy worked his butt off for $25 and the trailer looks great!
