So why do I wash windows for a living:-
I am never stuck for cash. Since starting in1988 I have always been able to put my hand to some ready cash whenever I needed it.
I am free to come and go as I like, so if I fancy stopping for a pint on a hot summers day I can.
The buck stops here, If there is a problem people come straight to me and sort it out face to face. I loathe back biting work place politics and petty whiners.
I choose how much or how little I earn. If I want to work two or three days a week or seven, I can decide.
I like to be in control of what I earn and how much work I do for it.
My working environment is often fantastic, I really like to get around the place and see how people live. There are some brilliant people out there to who really know how to live.
sorry I got bored and didn't finish. to be continued.........

The thought of runing 3 vans, manning them, nightmare. I'd soon lose my enjoyment!
If you employ, say 5 blokes, then when their wives get the grumps they'll come to work & pass on the grief. :( :( :(
No. No. N oooooooooooo
I'm on me own, I got 2 good mates with their own equipment & we come together for the big jobs. Its a joy to work with them. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8)
Too big is too serious. >:( >:(

Quite like that idea of pooling together for the big jobs. How do you split the profits - does the guy who got the job get the lions share or does he subbie out at so much per hour or do you split three ways?

We split it 3 ways. (Apart from the B&T job cos malcolm quoted so high we were embarassed to take more than £180 each!)
We try to keep the paperwork to a minimum.
