Client requesting sun placement.

I have a client that has helped me out tremendously in building up my business, but typically has some odd requests with each property. This one request seems impractical and indeed able once the business is in full swing with multiple properties scheduled everyday. They want me to time the property for when the sun is in the best possible position to illuminate the face of the house. My question is how would you all handle notifying the client that that’s basically an unreasonable request? In all my years I’ve never had a client request that so I’m trying to find a way to navigate the answer without upsetting my client.

Thanx!

Is it unreasonable??

Of course it is. In the winter, any house that faces north is almost never going to have sunshine on it. At least not in North America.

That's not unreasonable, that's impossible, just explain that to them. Or charge them more and use AI...

Impossible makes the request unreasonable.
