Nope - i'm not throwing my toys out of the pram over a forum row,.. but I am sadly leaving the cleaning business. :'(
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone on here who's offered advice and help over the past 7 or 8 years - because of some genuinely amazing ppl on the forums I learnt how to work quicker and safer, learnt how to diy a wfp system & save £1000's, even learnt how to diy a hot system.
Even some of the more sarcastic or critical comments helped - they forced me to kick myself up the ass & re-evaluate a stupid decision or two!
The time has come though to move on - mostly because I'm moving to another town & its too far to continue looking after my current customer base,.. and also because my "fill a gap till we get settled" temporary job in web design has worked out much better than I expected. I had planned to startup a new round after the move,.. but I've realised i can make almost the same money inside in the warm & also spend more time with my young family,.. so the decision to stick at the web design came easily in the end!
I'll still pop by to say hi every now and then,.. mostly just to poke fun when its -4 outside and i'm cozy and warm!!
Thanks again fellas! Cheerio!

Hi Nat
Thank you for all your input over the years and hope all continues to go well for you and the family.
-
Good luck mate, best wishes,and I'M Cozy and warm thanks ;D
-
Good luck Nat, you're a decent bloke you deserve to do well.
-
Thanks for your input over the years. Hope all goes well for you. Keep in touch fella
-
Good luck to you in the Future Nat. In the early days of my involvement in WFP we had a number of conversations which I found informative and useful. You have shared your experience for the benefit of others. We may not have always agreed but I respect that you were always willing to question and provide valuable insights.
I have no doubt your future ventures will be successful
-
good luck Nat, is the guild going to continue with someone else at the helm?
I have also decided to move away from window cleaning
-
I'm actually going to keep on looking after the Guild unless someone with a true passion for it volunteers to take the helm - The new website re-design automated a lot of the work involved in the Guild, so its not half as labour intensive to manage as it used to be. It's also a nice way to keep a bit of contact with a business I've really enjoyed over the past few years. ;D

You are a true gentleman, and you will be missed very much, all the best with the new direction you are taking.
-
All the best Nat. You'll be missed.

No, that wasn't me,.. It is a nice site though!!

Nat,
How do you get most of your web design work? Do you get repeat business?
I used to design websites to when I first setup window cleaning - But decided to take the window cleaning route...
Bro Andy* ;)

I agree. I think it's one of his best selling points over his rivals.
-

I get quite a bit of repeat business surprisingly - i really didn't expect to when I started out. Its not just multiple sites for different services either, the "smartphone revolution" has ppl with sites only 3 or 4 years old coming back to upgrade to fancy new responsive ones that display better on their iPads. :)
-
Thank you for all your input and work, you are a great ambassador for the window cleaning business
-
All the best Nathanael in your website business, thanks for all your help with the website you did for me.
Good luck Nat, your a top bloke.

Good luck Nat in your future ventures.
