Does using a back pack help? Hoses etc.

have arrived to clean a large house when seeing a trad guy cleaning a slightly smaller one only to clean the lot and back in van before he had finished the front of the house he was working on, if that counts

before any of you wfp boys pipe up WE ARE GOING WFP THIS SUMMER!!!

I was doing a Close round the corner from me ( literally) when a window cleaner from near where i live ( literally)  turned up in the same close at the same time. Luckily we all get on well here and he's a really nice bloke and we had a good chat for 10 minutes before i punched his face in..just kidding..serioulsy we all get along really well trad and wfp guys. So...I was working alone in one of our 1 man vans and i had 4 x £14 houses to do TRAD.. 4 bed detached, 2 of them had conservatories. He had exactly the same to do but WFP,so between us we had 8 houses to do all the same spec. I had just finished house 2 as he completed house 4 and was packing up to leave.

Says it all really....

we're getting there guys, 7 years down the line and we're about to embrace change. We've done our bit as trad, but we're seeing the light now...

Oh and before anyone asks it was not me that let those three tyres down on his van ...he must have driven over some glass or sumfink...

we're still working it out so any advice will be good.

 We need a set up for 2 men in a Vauxhall Vivaro.

Too true - anything you think we should consider, maybe?
