You sound like you need an office job if you can only climb a ladder 10 times a day m8, thats not pushing your self, that is being lazy/ unfit for job :o maybe beer talking :-\

i do 5-8 hours a day "on the glass"so to speak depending on time of year.im 38 and since ive stopped smoking and drinking i have a lot more energy!i do think that looking after yourself makes a difference in a job like ours.i go for a swim now and then,try and get to bed before 12pm,eat well etc.

i use trad poles as well as ladders so its a bit easier!but if u want to not work as hard they say WFP is easier on some work if u use c/f poles! ;D ;D

You seem quite a clever guy lol, this is my seconmd account my last had about 8000 post count  ;D I only do it for post count honest I do  ::)

I am quite perfect to be honest, It is a trate of mine  ;)

I never said you was a loser at all, I made a little comment and you saw fit to start attacking me, maybe I hit a neave if i did sorry, but honestly if you are struggling on 10 houses a day at the prices you said, you would be better off working in an office.

I do know this game a little I have been doing it couple of years now   ::)

Ian

p.s thats one more to the post count  ;D
pps have a nice sleep and happy hangover for later this morning  ;)

well if i had more ork id do more.

Dont want to spoil your 'tiff' but why dont you work quicker as if you had extra work and then go knocking for more.

And with an attitude like the one you have i wouldnt expect to get much.

Keep up the good work Ian ;)

you say its feeling like a killer but you are staying inside your comfort zone by doing 2 per hour.  id say get door knocking as if your life depends on it and  that will force you out your comfort zone into doing 3 or 4 per hour  . make up a  quick release clamp for your ladders too

I would reckon that 6 hours out of the house per day would be a average for me....

Cheers

Ha ha.  I see that psychic censor is at work again  ;D

Seriously though, every once in a while it's a good thing to review the way you work, self included, to see if any efficiency savings can be made whether that be a price increase, a way of speeding up a bit, a way of reducing mileage driven, dropping and replacing difficult customers (once a workload is full) etc. etc.  I have such reviews in my personal life too and live on much less money than I once did.
I had been doing traditional window cleaning for quite a few years when someone offered to show me a few tips on working faster.  I'm not too proud to learn and was amazed at what I was shown.  It speeded me up quite a bit.  I went into WFP a few months later.  I wish I had bumped into that guy years before.

2 houses an hour isnt great...but...the houses mite be on for £10-£15 each..maybe. i can imagine its a pain in the backside tieing your ladders on and off all the time,i used to tie em,but get clamps,you'l find it ALOT quicker and easier  ;D jus get out they and canvass mate,thats the best thing you can do in your situation and drop the houses that arnt making you the money you want,and that are causing you all this stress,you'll get they in the end if you put alot of hard work in your buisness,you'll reap the benefits  ;D

I do 9.30- 4.00 with an hour lunch, so minus the odd chat and moving about I doubt I work more than 5 hours.
