Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Hernia. Working advice please.
« Last post by AuRavelling79 on September 08, 2025, 01:52:59 pm »
Had the same one done feb 14 . Did feel I needed full 6 weeks . Local mechanic got done week after went back to work to soon had to go back in . Reversed the op been on med since and will have to get re done when fully recovered . Also I bought an extreme 25 to use as much as possible. That made a real difference . Often use a max 50 left them another month and all good after 3 months

Thanks for the input. Good advice.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I've just today - at 30 days after the OP - cleaned my van and my house (a semi-detached) reachable with my 20ft extreme.

I feel ok but don't want to overdo it. I am planning to do three  properties including a bungalow on Thursday which means I'll work steadily and do just over an hour on the glass and about an hour preparing and driving.

If that's ok then I will do the same Friday and next week at nearly six weeks do about 2 hours a day but no higher than my 20ft Xtreme.

My surgeon - when I explained my work - said don't go back full time (5 hours on the glass for me  ;D) until 6 weeks and no high reach or awkward stuff for 8.

I have dropped a big commercial which was at 45ft and passed it to my son in law and I have another couple of smaller but higher jobs I shall hand over too.

Anyone complained about them doing away with the free for life account . And any joy . See the new account will cost £9.99 and extra charges for cash deposits . Don’t know what other charges there is . Matt

ridiculous front page "Worst winter ever on its way" from the express... :)

Let’s hope so will give us something to read and comment on when we’re unable to work due to bad weather
Yeah be fighting it out with "Scientists weeks away from curing dementia"  and "amazing this cures diabetes overnight"

Why not have a section on here for window cleaners that have retired recently. For me personally I'm of retirement age last year but still working part time. Just a thought.

The ever increasing amount of mostly completely irrelevant ads on here is making me want to come on less and less.

There seems to be a real stagnation in wfp development IMO. We're stuck with the same old brushes, poles etc. There used to be real excitement and lots of discussions about all the latest stuff but here we are, same old same old. 🤔

Is it just me or is this section of the forum getting quieter lately ?

and before you ask why I'm not posting on here it's due to being retired  I have no more incidents or problems that need solving
