Post by: Dean Aspects on February 03, 2008, 04:48:23 pm: About two and a half years for me and dithered for a year making my mind up before that
Would i go back to ladders? only if forced really dont want to do that anymore i like not being totally knackered at the end of a long day
If a hose pipe ban was permanant then i would look into other ways of making a living as i have dodgy ankles and ladder work is not for me anymore

2 years 4 months here. The thought of reverting to trad full time would be a nightmare. The only trad work I do now is a bit of inside work and a few elderly peoples bungalows.

Post by: Sir Squeaky on February 03, 2008, 05:51:49 pm: 9 months wfp for (hasn't that gone quickly? :o)

I would want to go back to full time trad, as I can't bothered with ladders.
I've got no problem with squeegee work downstairs though, and I do nearly all bungalows by hand to save time and bother.

Post by: Adam Boss on February 04, 2008, 03:11:23 pm: I have been WFP now for 2 years but I am also traditional, more trad than WFP.
I find it works for me and enjoy the world of window cleaning.

Title: Re: how long you been wfp
Post by: Pureandclean on February 05, 2008, 08:40:52 am: Traditional 25 years wfp for about 6 years.
I wouldn't want to go back now, I am so slow with the squeegie now.
Fell off my ladder too many times, rolled down a sloping roof once, and just managed to hold on, not going to do that again !
Far too many 3 storey buildings on the round now.

Blessings,

Graeme
