It's nice to see Matt applying himself. There's a few on here that puzzle me. With Matt its that he's laid back and smart enought to know he should use pro equipment. I think the same about Jeff (trailer?why?), and Dave (and he's limited),
And Jeff b I don't understand at all, how can all his customers be sixty foot jobs? Squeakys become a van snob.... and so it goes on.

thats me, i am laid back, AND i love it man

on the note of " pro equipment " i have a trolley and it works very well for me, it really does, i honestly cannot see anything else that will make my life easier, a van mount will not work for me, as i would have hoses trailing down the road, today i parked the car, i cleaned 15 ( ish ) houses and didnt move the car, i returned to the car to get more barrels, seriously, i cannot see how a van mount would help me in

I feel exactly the same Matt. With 50 litres on the trolley, and 25metres on the hose reel, Twin pole Carrier's can work much more efficiently than if I had a van mount.
On one Marina estate, I would need 200 metres of hose if I had a van mount. Dai

Matt started the DIY site to help window cleaners who didn't have a lot of money into the big new world of water fed pole. A world that they wouldn't have had access to otherwise, and they could be encouraged by other peoples trial and error attempts.

I'm summarising and putting words into other peoples mouths but I think thats the giste.

But things have moved on, this very thread says we all earn a lot more,, our expectations are greater, and anything to make the job easier or faster can be justified in monetary terms.

Why then do so many of you that were at the front now live in the past?

If you believe humping 25litre barrels about is the way to go, or homemade poles, or any of the other make do and mend ideas you are living in the past.IMO.

I do accept it's the way you prefer to work and you feel as indivduals you have the right to choose.

hozelocks and 15mm pipe on mine. Microbore fits snugly inside with a jubilee clip to hold it.

  Yes.

Squeaky and me ... the only Rover driving van snobs in the world!

You gotta laugh at the paradox of that!

I have a £700 day. 5 office blocks. I'm not boasting. Its a fact.
£220(2 hours)
£130(1.5 hours)
£120(1.5 hours)
£120(1.5 hours)
£80(45 mins)
and a £30(20 mins) house just to make it up to £700.

I'm not fit and 7 hours for me and I'm finished. But if I were fit in my early twentys and could work a 11 hour day I have the work to hit the £1000 mark for a day.

oops posted the whole topic again sorry folks  :

[Sanity]

Grats Dia.  I suppose I should extract my digit and make a £200 day...
