How come i earn more money when the weather's bad? Didn't bother to work Tuesday, well three horrible jobs pretending to clean in the rain, yet my earnings are higher already this week than any full week before. I seem to work in a panic when the weather is bad trying to cram as much as possible into a dry day and therefore work harder and longer than normal.

I am the same. I do gutterings in the rain, which tend to pay more anyway. Then I work longer hours to get the windows done. Eventually I will run out of gutterings though, so this rule has its limits.

I was given three areas in Melksham to canvass the other day but normally i don't work there. Some German windowcleaner with a bad back been letting customers down - ring any bells? I've got too much on at the moment but might have a look if it drops off later this month.

I think you could already see the answer to the question FTP, from what you are typing on this post you have been running your business lazy.

the best thing to do is not look at the weather forecast and decide how many hours to work the next day and do it regardless , this imo is the only way to run your business regards alan

No, never heard of a german window cleaner round here. Where abouts are you from?

Just down the road (where they used to make pork pies). ;)

Is it really worth coming over here for domestic work?
There are a few more trad guys on the scene I have noticed lately.
There is work around Kenilworth Gardens, Waverley Gardens area I hear.

I don't know the estates very well really, used to work on Bowerhill in a previous life. Have done a couple of domestics there but only because they got my name off the net. One was on a council estate "never seen a cleaner in all the years we have lived here" - found out why - poor access to the backs, terraces. I know one wfp van set up in the town nice posh silver Vivario - yours maybe?
