I’ve just been offered the opportunity to take on 22 houses on an estate over here, starting next year. Better buy a new pole ;D

How can you clean windows with a broken shoulder?🤔
-
It broke 4 months ago. My shoulder is no longer broken - it has mobility issues, but it’s not broken. I’m in the process of rehab. If you’ve had to recover from a broken shoulder you’ll know one of the exercises you’re given to do, daily, is almost exactly the same as WFP pole work. Using the other arm to mobilise the broken one using a pole held in both hands. It’s the first exercise I do every day.
If anything it should hasten my recovery.

Do a lot of windows have screens over there Matt? and usually have bi annual window clean in and out?
Good luck with your recovery

To be honest I haven’t got much of a clue about that. If the work means going up a ladder to remove screens I’ll count myself out.
I’ve been carrying out a project at home here whilst not working, building an enclosure for the cat, due to the wildlife, and have been asked to make one for a neighbour, so I wouldn’t mind doing that also. I’ll post some pics later of what I’ve done.

Your next step could be adding fence building to your business because there is always plenty of demand.
I have a full day stripping wallpaper for a customer tomorrow because that's me finished windows till next month and it begins all over again.

Na, fencing ain’t my thing. Done enough of that in my time ta, digging holes is something my shoulder wouldn’t relish, now or in the future.

I have a Stihl Post Borer and all the bits, bought it to get my balance down and had a massive fence job to do when covid happened. Never used a tool like it, if it jams the lever engages the clutch and it stops. Sometimes I have to start with 60mm bit and build up to the 200mm one. The good thing about it is the amount of soil that comes out, very little, so very little concrete is needed or post mix. Not done many this year but got asked to price for a 30m one which will be a good earner if I get it.
