Which bit are you commenting on? Powering a summerhouse or ringing before 08:30 on a Saturday morning.
(Written with a lightweight but protected cable going to our shed-with-windows... :-) )
I get people ringing at 7:30 on Sunday mornings, as late as 10pm at night, all hours.
I also get my share of daft customers;
"Can you fix my airing cupboard door"?
"I should think so, whats wrong with it"?
"I don't know, you're the handyman".
"Well, won't it open, or won't it shut"?
"Yes".
.............
Erm, don't get it, if they don't know how far away thier Summer house is, how do they think you will?

So you are going round there to measure up, meaning your minimum charge, plus weekend penalty payment plus out of hours penalty payment. Should be good for £200+...
Were they asking you for a quote, or just free design advice (using the Mystic Meg forecasting tool) so they could do the job themselves?

I am nearly always out of bed before 7am.
And on your way home? lol
Only on a Satuday or Sunday morning:-)
I wish.
I asked them to get out a tape measure. I then dropped the cable off for them on my way to work.
