ask the customer - some of mine are out the house at 7am. otherwise best to leave it to 9am, imo.

 My mate starts at 730am every day no probs. He goes to bed at 10pm every night. The early bird catches the worms.

Depends on your customers. I start 8.30 but the first house knows what time I'm coming.

Still manage to get people out of bed. I have one customer, always wants 8am Saturday because she works all week and goes to the gym Sat morning. Never up, ringing on the bell till she comes down in her nighty to open the garage for me.

Post by: RO-Sheen on January 09, 2009, 10:21:25 am
Yeah, I had much the same problem. I had a heater in the Van but the setting was too low. It was always enough before though!!
Written off this week as I need a 4 full days for the area I should be doing so will start on Monday instead.
I've lost a few customers recently due to credit crunch but I've gained some new ones which is unusual for this time of year. Still got the extension on hold though, too nervous to commit to a bigger mortgage at the mo  :-\.

Glad your biz is going well, keep up the good work
Oh, and Happy new year to you

8am , i aim for, have done 7.30 before now though cos i knew they were out and so got started early :)

I like starting early, then you get a good start to the day and whatever happens then (weather, breakdowns) yo can have a good lot done by early afternoon if you do have to stop, and if you work straight through to 5 etc you can get ALOT done!

Get up earlier!!!
