Title: got a wfp but no car!!!!
Post by: karljenner on January 08, 2006, 11:18:28 pm: Hello. I dont have a car but I want to buy a wfp to do domestic window cleaning. I think i would look like a sad retard who deserves to be shot if I tried to move around my wfp without the help of a vehicle to get from customer to customer. What do you guys think?

Some of my rounds are a good 20 \ 30 mins away from where I live.

I had a small round years ago when i couldn't drive and i got an old pram from the tip and altered it so i could carry ladders and equipment.

I got fed up pushing it about as i spent more time pushing it than cleaning windows. So i gave it up and gave my work to a mate.

If you want to make a living from w/cing (wfp) then you are going to need transport.

He has made quite a few for ice cream and hot dog sellers.

You could adapt something like this.
