Post by: redstarwindowcleaners on March 02, 2014, 05:34:27 pm
Do around 20 Mobiles homes on a park home site on a Sunday every month
Mrs parked behind me and took the kids to the cinema had here keys in her bag so couldnt get the van out
out come the bucket first time in 6 months
Walked to the site with me trad kit and a frame over shoulder
only a mile or so walk
Filled up from my mum's a squit of fairy and away
really enjoyed doing a bit of trad work with the sun on my back

A change is always as good as a rest.
I like a bit of ground floor trad cleaning now and again.

If no ladders involved I like trad as it's simple. But if I need ladders then hate it now.

I've quite a few bungalows I trad.

It always reminds me of when I was 100% trad and there was plenty of space in the back of the van.

i do a bit of trad on a few ground floor windows where its tight to pole them, inside porches and doors and some customers prefer me to trad their ground floor windows which to be honest i dont mind at all.its only a few here and there.breaks things up a bit.

i also trad a little granny flat near lots of other work as its easier.with a(dare i say it!) ladder! ;D

use all the tools in your locker as you see fit.

im 90% WFP these days as usually its quicker and does a more thorough job but sometimes its more convenient to use a mop and squeegee. ;) :)
