I think he meant to say the flexibility of being able to take holidays when you want

Yes, no other job gives the flexibility that window cleaning does. Bought a load of jewellery at Wilsons auction on net which was down in Dalry. Cleaning windows today down that way and picked the stuff up. Lost less than an hour on my visit to Dalry and not a bit of sand in sight compared to Dubai.

I couldn’t ask for a better job living here. Absolutely love my job now. In the UK I’d grown to dislike the work in general on top of the fact it was tediously boring.

Today I was cleaning a chaps windows with wildlife around like from a David Attenborough documentary.

Zoom in on the pic, that’s a bald eagle on the rocks. When I went a couple of weeks ago to have an initial look at this job there was a brown bear on the track down through the trees.

Now I’m just off up the road, 20 minutes north of here, to look at a 2 day clean I’m doing after a property has been refurbed.

Start that job Monday. Anyone want pics? 😁

Tomorrows is nice too. A driveway pressure washing job, it’s on Skyline drive, which probably says all you need to know about the view.

This is why I decided to build my round in an affluent leafy/semi rural suburb in the 90s....

It makes a real difference to your day to day window cleaning life....the only downsides are yellow bee spots splattered all over some work in summer and ruddy horseflies!😄👍
