Hi Daz, yes absolutely its quicker. I don't think many people would argue with that. As I said in my long drawn out post, you have other things to factor in before you can say your in the black.
* How much time do you spend buggering around, when as a ladder monkey you could do that extra job.
* How long do you spend filling up?
* Have you lost any work due to wfp yet? You will. You would of kept it trad.
* Factor in the extra overheads.
* Are you really making more money? I tended to be smug with myself about how quick I was, rather than go get the extra work needed to fill the week. I took it easy as I had completed my work.
I'm sure you know all this already, but factor it all in.
I was particularly quick trad granted, but I can't honestly say I could make wfp pay with the domestic market. It wasn't until I got the commercial work that it really was worth the extra money and hassal. I have been wfp nearly 8 years now, every job is a new challenge. I am still very partial to trad though, and if all things are equal I will trad domestic work as most customers prefer it. 8 times out of ten the pole is quicker though, once you have the overheads you may as well use it.
