I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.

You clean residential between christmas and new year ?

Always have done, since I started in 2008. Usually do a round or two between Xmas and new year, all my work is monthly, so each week there is work due, I tend to  stick to the routine unless we’re away on holiday…

Your average day is only 3.5 hours long?

Lost an hour this afternoon because I drove round the back of lockups to clean the back of a house. We used to be able to continue driving down and round onto the tarmac until the boy racers were using it as a race track. The moment I stopped the van and seen the big concrete bollard I knew I was in trouble especially with the rear wheel drive my van has. A few guys came out and helped me by placing fencing boards under the wheels and pushing me out. In the end I lost an hour and think I will design plywood boards that fit together to see if it works by spreading the vans weight. Watch this space!

Plywood boards have already been invented. They're 6'x4' generally.


Usually 8x4 😉

Some folk use tights as a filter, anyhow, I received a new hose today with the new rubber cuff swivel that fits on the end of the pole. Not sure how good it is but will be using it soon so will give an update after I use it.
