It's not a case of not being happy with our lot, it's the fact that a second job is normally a necessity for a firefighter with a family, and it just happens that window cleaning fits in with our shift work and it's a decent physical job.....
Hgv driver, have got my first day window cleaning tomorrow on my day off, just need to spend the winter building my round then I can, get off the road for good. That is if my tank for the van turns up today :-
and heres me thinking your all professional cleaners who make a living without having to resort to other work to make up your income!!!........bunch of part timers!!!
Been window cleaning full time for 11yrs and for 6 of those i have also worked as a night support worker in a drug treatment centre . i only do 1 night a week and get sleep time so i can still go out on the glass the next day . Its Sh** money but far more rewarding and challenging than w/c
