20 Years in this great trade, most of that time has been up a ladder and fallen off twice, I allmost gave up, as just had it with wet winters and risking my neck  :( then I got a WFP, which was 4 years ago, and I have never looked back  8)

Even though it doesn't show, I have been doing this for 26 years. But then you know how we females are. I did start young! :D

Amazing what all that exercise will do for you!    :o

Was athletic; still athletic although since I contract out almost all of my work now I sit at my desk a lot more. I have a lot of exercise equipment at my home.

 Managing a business correctly takes a lot of time.

Still traditional but in my market 99% of the time you do insides and all domestics are every 6 months or 1/year. But  there are about 40- 50 windows per house ( the ones that we clean).

I still love this business! Tried other things in addition along the way but window cleaning is a needed service that will never disappear.  ;D

Hugs,

21st year for me.

Why?  I took it as a stop gap in 1987, I didn't know what to do!
It was my last choice!  The last thing I wanted to do.

There's a few years experience between us guys! Hopefully the newbies will see from this post that it can be a long lasting job and if you want to see life - there is no other job like it!! Thanks for responses. We are not alone. Peter
