If it was, then brain surgeon I suppose.

I dont clean my own windows as it takes to long, I get one of the lads to do it and I am a nightmare customer for them ;D

Nope I wouldn't pay I'm too tight. I hate doing my own too - plant pots everywhere, three wheely bins and a horrible conservatory roof not to mention the miserable owners.

If I weren't a window cleaner I would live off the state as it wouldn't be worth finding or sustaining a job locally because of the low wage situation because the county I live in relies too heavily on tourism instead of real, all year round, decent paying jobs. I have and always will clean my own windows because I'm not a lazy person.

About ten years ago I tried to clean my own windows.
I was a squaddie in Northern Ireland at the time, living 'behind the wire' in an army married quarter; we couldn't get a window cleaner for security reasons.
So I borrowed a set of ladders from a neighbor and tried to do my own. Firstly I was terrified; I didn't realise that using a ladder could be so scary, especially when you don't have a clue how to use one; and secondly I used Windolene to clean them with, and that's a pain in the arse!
From then on, when-ever I could, I always had a window cleaner; until I became one myself!
I'd like one now; it's a pain cleaning your own windows; but Wor Lass reckons that would be daft!

the kids do them, the 15 yr old does the tops and the little un does the bottoms
likes to clean car as well. i get the trolley out the van plug in the 2ft - 4ft pole
away he goes.

oh well theres always the wife ;)

Before I spent £300 on trad cleaning eqiupment without having any customers or having done any canvassing, my logic was if I was my only customer at least I would break even in under two years.
Since then van and WFP, i'm weighed in at about fourteen grand. This could take awhile.
Nice trick opening by the way, I thought it was about an alternative job too.

Tosh, if you think cleaning windows in your married quarters in N.I was dangerous then you could have swapped with me as I had to wear a bullet proof vest, helmet and welding mask outside the camp perimeter fencing by the Falls Rd in Belfast with 2 'pig' armoured vehicles as protection from the IRA. Every time I struck an arc with the welding gear I was an illuminated sitting target. I learnt to weld very fast in situ over there :)
