How's your DPF been in your van Daz, as I don't believe you do many miles in it? do you have add blue?

How did you attach the plywood to the van floor please? Did you then just screw the reel on to that or bolt it through the floor? Thanks  :)

The plywood isn't attached to the van floor.it just fits snugly inbetween the wheel arches....of course I screw the reel into the plywood.job done!🙂👍

No record days for me anymore.... ;D

I've cut hours down,got rid of some jobs,put others on longer frequencies so I'm down to 4 short days per week.

Ahhh!!! I'd heard Daz's 4-day spiel, many times , didn't realize he'd cut back to 4 short days, wish he'd keep us in the loop a bit more

That van is like his sex life. Charged up every night with nothing but low mileage to show for his efforts.

Hi daz,
I’m not taking the Pixx  but can you earn a decent income working four short days a week ?  The only reason I say that is four short days for me wouldn’t be enough for me to pay bills and have a decent  life’ style,what’s your average job price ?

Daz is probably doing £50 per hour average, £250 a day so £1000 a week.  £46k a year give or take. His business overheads are tiny and his personal expenses are even smaller. A very decent lifestyle for him.

If you’re living in the south, have a £200k mortgage costing £1500 a month with 3 kids and all the expenses that come with that then £46k per year isn’t going to fund that and you’ll likely be skint.

Horses for courses but fair play to Daz, it works for him,

1.I've been window cleaning for 31 years so my work is very compact and refined.

2.im very organised and use the best equipment to make the job easier

3.i actually work more effectively working shorter hours.

4.i have no young kids and my missus is self employed too and earns her own money.

5.i don't waste money on alcohol or cigarettes anymore

And he is able to save substantial amounts of money for his "nest egg" to fund him when he's an old man.  :)

He's had the AA symbol tattooed onto his pint arm.  That's a signal for a landlord not to serve him a pint if he relapses  ;D
