When did I say that those solar farm jobs were sub contracted work off you ??? They were my own jobs nothing to do with your company , and I was  doing them before I came on your "training course " I haven't disregarded anything you have said as I only did 3 jobs for you , what I am saying is that at those prices it's not viable in my opinion, as I said some may be happy to do it at those prices but it's not a viable business plan for us .

I know what you have been charging for some jobs as the client has told me that's the price to beat and as I said ime not intrested , I have given up the solar farms as they are more trouble than they are worth , with the issues mentioned before , I have Evan suggested to some clients that they contact you as you do a large number of these sites you are very welcome to them , we are sticking to the windows thanks easier , more money , regular 4/6/8 weekly jobs , all I have been trying to do is point out the pit falls to unsuspecting, new cleaners who are inexperienced to try and prevent them making the same mistakes I did by taking on this type of work in the first place if I could turn back the clock I would never have done this type of work not for my self or for your firm , you seam to think that people cannot get this type of job themselves, they can get these jobs but from experience most don't want them , and I accept you will probably corner the market doing it with your franchising model , I hope you are successful with it you work very long hours and know your subject well , but the subcontractors , franchises need to understand fully what's involved , are you telling me that anyone wants to work on one site for weeks cleaning  tens of thousands of panels ????

No one In there right mind would want to do it as it's sole destroying , boring work , and the money isn't good , if someone wants to expand ther business they are better off getting regular window cleaning jobs In the long run . Also I see a lot of these tracker cleaners being trailed near me I was talking to one of the md s and he said it won't be long before most panels will be cleaned this way , I accept not all jobs can be do like that but most sites are laid out so that it can be done , let's face it it makes sense to do it that way , I know these machines are expensive but you would be in a good position to buy a couple and lorry to transport them around the country cleaning everything, that's not a dig it's just a fact you would be mad not to what's half a million to you with all this work that you have it would soon pay for its self , but I guess you would make a lot more with franching ?????

I me not getting into an argument with you or enyone else about this Ime just stating a few proven facts that many would agree with but I do genuinely wish you the best with your business venture I personally wouldn't want to spend the time on this that you do as long as I can pay the bills that's enough for me

Mod note: I have stuck a few paragraph breaks in to make your post easier to read. Hope you don't mind and that you bear it in mind for future posts.

Thanks, Gold.
