my default setting is 930am-3pm and 30 mins for lunch so 5 hours "on the glass" per day 4 or 5 days a week all year round....obviously it can be slightly earlier/later start and finish times but this is the norm for me.....its only occasionally ill work a slightly longer day
but what about you guys that start early(eg 6am)do you wear a head torch so you can see what your cleaning off the glass in the winter months?or do you start later and work extra hours by working weekends?
ive found out over the years that working short days are best for me in relation to productivity and efficient working (and stops me getting too bored of cleaning)and i can work the same hours all year round without the short winter days hampering me.
-
Why do you want to know if you will never start at 6am?

i just like to see how other cleaners manage in the winter mate......
i used to start at 730am and work til 6pm in a previous outdoor job,sometimes we d work late til 830pm-9pm in the winter months...now that was a drag!long,long days and it put me off working for someone else big time!

Dazmond likes to remind us he’s part time ::)roll

ive still got a full round though....i just condense my work into 5 hour daily segments.......
the studies some people have done on work productivity around europe have found that lots of people can be just as productive working shorter hours than someone working longer hours doing the same work....
obviously it helps having lots of work in the same areas too

I'm surprised he isn't out there at 6am in winter showing off his hot water system :D

To be honest I am more surprised when someone is full time 40 hours, 5 days a week on the glass than if they are "part time"
I generally work 8:30 till 2:30 Monday to Thursday.
I don't consider myself part time though, I spend at least an hour a day on other tasks including a couple of hours on a weekend sorting van, reminding customers, scheduling and book keeping etc.
I may be part time technically cleaning windows but I certainly feel like I put more work in than I ever did 9-5 in previous jobs,
used to spend most of the day day dreaming and once 5 rolls down you clock out both physically and mentally.
I don't think whether it's summer or winter matters it's still a slog trying to long hours as you are either cold, wet or red hot.
-
I’m waiting for the rain to get heavier before I go out. Otherwise I’d work a full day.
-
Work? I wouldn’t really call it work.
More a means to an end. Couldn’t ask for more really.

In the past, i hated the winter. This was mostly because I would always fall behind, due to the night creeping in early. Then in the summer time i used to work until 6pm or later.
After several years of doing this, i then sat down and sorted my work out and tried to orgainse it, compared to just working each day to get through as much as i could until it was all completed.
This is when i broke my round into sections and i gave myself a week per section and so all my work was then on schedule for staying in a 4 week rotation. I also made it an aim to finish before 4 pm in the summer and therefore by winter I would be completing my work as it got dark and therefore no more running late etc on my work. As i knew how long it would take to complete each weekly round either working fast or taking my time, i could use my days off on friday as an overflow day incase i didnt finish the work in winter months and allowed for a later start in the mornings as well.
This has stood the test of time for me and especially since being on wfp now, its even easier.
-
We just start at the top of the list & work our way down it. If we don’t get as far as we thought & they’re not texters, they just get put off until the next working day or so. I don’t see the big deal. Never have. You’re a bit late. So what?
Overflow days lol. Wtf?
-
Exactly.
-
Get up. Go to work. Do what you can. Finish.
Next day - repeat.

That’s not really a full found round then mate.......my workdays are about 8:30am to 5 on average.
I have my months work in a list, takes about 21 full days to clean it.
The first of the month rolls around, I start at the top and work my way down. Some days I might want an early finish, I just pause the work, and pick up the next day.
I’ve never understood the need to crunch the work into set times and days.
Some months I get it all done, but if I don’t, it’s no big deal. The customers don’t even notice a week or so difference.

Normally i would finish by thursday and enjoy a day off on friday. However, this gives me the choice to work at a slower steadier pace either in the summer or winter, to work on the friday if needs be! Rather than over spill onto the following weeks scheduled work.
Perhaps more so that im taking on more high priced work rather than high quantities of jobs instead.

yep its a full round according to me..... ;D
are you having to work 830am-5pm jonny because your work is scattered here,there and everywhere?i have over 300 jobs in one 2 mile area......so not much driving about so i can crack on and get home.....
-
ive never worked 830am-5pm for years!.... ;D.......it was a common occurrence when 100% trad though......
-
we're mostly domestic so we get in for 7:30 and on the glass for 8am and work until the round is finished, which means 4-5:30 depending on the round, and depending on how hard we hit it.
same in the winter or the summer. we clean 4 weekly so there's no option to reduce the workload in the winter
some commercial is earlier than that of course

If I could be arsed to work 8 - 5 I would be a rich man.
Theres lots of money in this game but who can be arsed to put in the hours required to achieve it.

whats the point?you d be knackered all the time........no point having a few quid without the time to enjoy it and spend a little....
i remember when i was a kid(im the oldest out of 3 boys)and my dad was always really tired.....he hated his job(lorry driver)and was often in a bad mood.......
then when i left school and got a "job" i was working 56 hours a week and the older guys who worked there(in their 20s/30s then)were always moaning how tired they were and how they hated their jobs.....most were married with kids......
i vowed there and then i was never getting married and having kids.......sod that........or work a "regular job" ;D

You decided you were never going to have kids because your colleagues hated their jobs?
2+2=5 there Daz.

I employ so I’m very part time on the glass nowadays. The guys who work for me do 4 day weeks

yes....they felt trapped just like my dad....having to work a long hour job to provide for them.....
long hour job working for someone else(plus a wife and kids)= a miserable life/existence...... ;D
-
I think the fact that they had crappy minimum wage jobs, working 56 hour weeks made them unhappy Daz. Not the fact they had a wife and kids.
Just a thought?

I paid £40 for a ultra bright LED bike light for my pole. Strapped it on and started cleaning a house at about 4.30pm. The cat inside went mental and i mean mental! It proceeded to destroy some blinds that i had to pay for. Head torch maybe, on a pole......nope lol!

There were probably miserable with themselves for being stuck in a dead end job and not being able to probably provide more for their family which they loved and had as an escape from their job, only to hate their job more for not being able to provide more for their family which meant everything to them.
Put it this way daz, lol you know my story. I was married b4 for 12 yrs n had three kids, the oldest is now 21. I was divorced in 2010 and remarried by end of 2013 and i now have a step son n two more little ones. Yep they all bring a certain level of stress, that comes with family life but i knew that from my previous marriage. If it was doom n gloom, i certainly wouldnt be going back through it all now, if it was.
Though im glad your somewhat happy with your life, car and drum sticks. Yet something tells me, you would have reformed your life earlier if given the right circumstances and had your own loving family.

I agree Daz, plenty of people that have kids that can’t afford them and can’t provide for them properly. That’s generally what happens in low income areas like where you live.
However there are also plenty of people, who have kids, can afford them and are more than capable to provide for them and prosper being part of a family unit.
-
Same hours whatever the season. 8 am to 3/3:30 my mind and body couldn't handle any more TBH.

it looks like i could be a step grandad in the future(hopefully not for a few years yet though) so i might change my views slightly..... ;D

do you turn up on domestics at 8am phil?
i find 930am to 3pm is the sweet spot,..roads are less busy too,although ill be starting at 9am this morning.
are customers not still in bed/cars on the drive at 8am?
-
Daz I start between 7:30-8am domestic, you clean the houses you know are up or even out early first.
I aim to be in the gym by 2pm and have the shopping done (yes I walk to Tesco everyday for dinner ingredients, live 3 minute walk from a Tesco extra) by 3:30pm. Wife gets home at 4:45pm.
I’d hate to start at 9:30am, I like to be out early and home early, but we’re all different 👍🏼
One benefit of getting up early is my body isn’t tired when I need to be out very early for commercial.

No not particularly, some days are better than others. I just have a bout 500 jobs on my monthly round, some large, some small.
Me and my wife work together, I’m full time, she does one or two days a week out in the van with me, and looks after the books.
Ideally I’d like to be down to a 4 day week. That’s the goal really.
I’d hate working everyday but shorter hours, compared to 4 heavier days and one full day off.
Saying that, I quite enjoy my work. Headphones in, podcast on, work till 5 and then head home. Working life could be far worse.

You will seriously realise in a few years that youve made a bad mistake not having kids.
When all you're friends are drug addled or dead and you've got no kids to help you out and go to footy /holdays/gigs etc you'll have to find a 30 year old to give you kids late in life, fat chance

absolutely not mate.....out of 16 guys i used to drink with,8 are dead(late 30s/early 40s),5 are struggling and in a mess and 3 are sober..... ::)roll
im perfectly fine without kids...ive got my missus with 2 grown up kids and ill probably be a step grandad in a few years.......thatll do me.....
me and the missus love going abroad in 5 star hotels on child free holidays! :D....its ace...... :D
i dont go to football matches or gigs very often...if i do i go with the missus or my brothers or bandmates.... ;)

Hey Daz,
Never had an issue starting at 8am, try and avoid starting with older customers, young families are always up and about at that time. We like to get started and finish early if possibe.

What a load of rubbish. Going to footy with kids is a life goal? Also it means you will only have druggie friends later in life?
As Daz says, there’s far too many people on the planet, mostly because of the egotism and desperation of having a cloned little version of your self to carry on your oh so very important genes. Guess what, they really aren’t that important.

Actually the west is heading for de-population, like that of China.
No where near as many people are having kids these days.
Each to there own, but I think most people would say having kids is the greatest joy/most fulfilling thing they’ve done in life.
I’m not sure why you say it’s egotism or desperation, strong words that I doubt have any truth; let’s be real, most people have kids simply because it’s natural and fulfilling.
For people who can’t have kids, that’s obviously an entirely different matter, and I feel for them.
Others choose not to wilfully, and that’s fine 👍🏼
-
I’ve not had kids, being in recovery like Daz, believe its down to me knowing I couldnt commit emotionally to bringing them up, offering them love, security and a place they know is home and safe whilst in active addiction.
Its probably a huge loss to me. I say probably because now I think my life would be very different if I’d had kids and for the better. Its the most natural thing surely to re-create?
Sometimes I wonder what life will be like in my older years without kids, which seems rather sad to me.
-
Well this has gone off topic. ;D it’s interesting though.
We’ve chose to not have kids at the moment.
We’re both in our early thirties so it could still happen, but at the moment we choose not too.
For those of you that are older and don’t have kids, I wouldn’t worry. it isn’t a guarantee for a happy and successful life to have children. There’s people who live next to me that are in the 70’s, onto their second and third marriages and have children but are estranged from them, having nothing to do with each other. The pain of that, almost seems worse than having no kids at all.
I do also feel (as has been mentioned in a few comments) some people seem to have children out of fear of “whose going to look after me when I’m old”. That’s not the right way to think in my opinion.
Then there’s others that think in 50 years time the environment is going to be in such a terrible state that life is going to be incredibly hard, even impossible. That would be our children’s lives.
Then there’s others who are religious, and don’t just live for now, but have a faith and belief in a happier future world when you could raise kids in a far better environment than we see now. I do often wonder what this worlds gonna be like in 10-20-30 years time.
Everyone is different.
Anyway, keep ya chin up, it’s Friday. ;D
-
Yeah but kids in the winter ???
I wish I’d never had them, I could have a hot system by now, a van with air conditioning, work part time and have a family on Cleanitup.

yep.......im off on holiday in a few weeks too....5 star hotel in lanzarote......sod having kids!their too expensive! :D
-
its so liberating not having kids.....its great......
all this talk of being lonely in your old age because you dont have kids it BS.......how many of them grown up kids go and see their dear old mum and dad anyway?once a week?once a month?
what are you gonna do the rest of the week? ::)roll
most people that are lonely its totally their own fault!........they dont cultivate friendships or have no hobbies or interests.......

ive lived with a few women with young kids many years ago,its overrated.......its enjoyable in some respects but hard work and i cant stand the mess,tantrums and general hassle esp now as i get older....
saying that ill probably will be a step grandad in a few years which will be fun as you can hand them back after a day or two and get on with your child free life again! :D :D

I do what I feel like doing when I feel like doing it.
Start 9/9.30ish usually till about 4.
In summer though if it's a sunny day and am local I'll drag myself out at 8.30 and aim to be sat in back garden at home with a cuppa by 1.30....no stopping for breaks though.
Winter I take it on a day to day basis.
I don't have my round set in stone, number 27 doesn't get done at 10.30 on a Monday every time it gets done when I get to it and I have no hangups if if I don't get done what I planned....I might think around 2.30 that I've had enough or I might work till 4.30....every day is different.

I start on domestics at 7-50-8 o’clock as a rule,if I started at 9-30 I’d feel I’d lost half a mornings work the time you get going winter or summer.
Someone said to me once an hour earlier in the morning is worth 2-3 in the afternoon,that’s very true if you get cracking in the morning I find the day becomes easier as it goes on 9-30 would is far to late for me I’d get really behind.
Add up all those 1.5 hours Daz you’re losing a days pay a week m8.
