We used to provide washer and dryer, but tenants washed greasy, oily work clothes leaving the washer unusable until cleaned, or clogged the pump requiring disassembly to remove obstruction.  

I love the greasy feel, the smell of cash, the reminder it gives me of my misspent youth and what I would have done with all that beautiful cash back when I was young and stupid.

Did you get a line item list of what was done or did he just tell you this is what you owe boss get out that checkbook.I hope you get this worked out to a comfortable price because that's an awful big number to just jump up and bite your checkbook - that's an awful lot of Mc'Donald's cheeseburgers. 

These are grad students and not greasy boots auto mechanics.

Knowing of course that it is an IRS untaught method to their people who Audit return (of our SIC codes)-- An unknown fish so to speak that might cause them to simply redline it costing the customer big Bucks $$$$$$$$$ (and anxiety).The tax savings on a $30,000 write off should buy quite a few Mcdonald's cheeseburgers.

Ceiling fans do get dusty but it’s take a long time to get in that state and it takes 2-min per fan to clean unless it’s greasy.  

I could drive down the street and find 5 different burger brands all charging close to the same price for a cheeseburger ( one is awful, one is okay, one is amazing).

McDonald's will not sell you a cheeseburger for gold.

For a project this size, a general contractor is easily a $10 million expense if you get stuck with a greasy GC.

I do the same for cleaners, if it’s extra cleaning charge for greasy kitchen or dirty tubs etc., then have it itemized and charge those amounts that are over and above normal.
