I can honestly say silly season started nearly a month ago for us. I still have around 25/30 roofs left to clean as well before May  ::)roll ::)roll ::)roll

im picking up a few more add ons now.i dont want em really as im busy enough with regular window cleaning but i picked one up last week(f/s/g clean,plus windows,4 bedder)and said id fit her in before i go on holiday next month.£120(2 hours work tops).

i dont mind them as long as im getting a high hourly rate for them but im struggling to fit them in sometimes mon-fri.

my new years resolution was to not work saturdays!ive not broke it yet!5 days a week is enough for me these days. ;)

It's hard to say No , but my family comes before too much work .
Monday to Friday is enough , especially as you can work from 07:30am to 7 pm if you need to

i cant remember when i last did more than 7 hours "on the glass" per day kempy.usually its 6 hours(9am-4pm)an hour for lunch/coffee breaks/chatting to customers.

the problem with add ons when your a sole trader with a busy workload is you have more chance of RSI when your squeezing them in around your regular work.the extra work and effort can put a real strain on neck and shoulders.

Busy season for me started last October and isn't showing sign of letting up.

Pretty much every day I'm adding new customers to my work list, and I've got a list as long as my arm for extras that need doing.

I'm thinking of taking all the sign writing off my van to give me some peace. Haha.

It's a good problem to have though. Much better than the alternative.

I pass on nearly all conny and gutter cleans to Dan the Man. He's happy, my custies are happy and I'm happy because I don't have to do them.
