    Is it just me or do you all have the odd mad customer with strange requests???

    This customer had a house built with all woodgrain pvc windows but could not get hold of a matching Electricity box so called us in to do it for him using the Cadet… not quite finnished the inside trim yet but thought id show you what it ended up like!!!
    Cheers

    Very clever mate.

    I had an australian customer that actually lived in Japan and wanted his new bus that he had bought here in australia, to look like a Melbourne tram. Spent days doing drawings and studying what the old trams looked like, then we used wood grain tape on the bus, over windows etc. When it was finished, the bloke flew out from Japan, liked what he saw, paid us in cash, then hoped back on a plane to Japan, all in the same day.

    Strangest thing ever happened to me in years.

    Cheers

    Good idea.

    That is a bit bizarre! 😮 Great job though 😀 Just hope the guy isn’t mad enough to ask you to wrap his car/van in the same stuff! 😉

    A wooden bonnet, wooden roof, wooden doors… to be honest mate, just wooden go! 😀 (I really must give John Singh his jokebook back 😉 )

    Cheers, Dewi
