Best Day Yet
« on: March 15, 2012, 09:21:15 pm »
Big day today.

Had £350 worth of work to do.  Got out at 8 and had got thru £80 by just past 9...  new i was on fire. 

Round half done by 11, and then car pulls over and asks to give him a quote as his windy just retired.  Went and signed him up in a £16 house and he'd spoken to his neighbours about me and signed up one of them, same price and quoted the other too...

Finsihed round by 2:30 and went and had a long lunch break & refill, then back and cleaned the 2 first cleans.

Back home by 5...  then off to interview for new WC.... 

All in all I'm pretty happy with that for a days work  :)

its all about the early starts for me.  if im on the glass at 8 i get a good days work done...  when you get caught up fixing stuff first thing its hard to get into the swing of things there on in.

well done tho.  that's a respectable days work  :)

it's BS richy.  its easy enough to do if works priced ok and you work with a purpose.  once you re used to working at that speed, you cant help it.  my speed when i'm on a bad day is £50/hr now

Im sure many on here have had some very good days.

The key is to be able do it day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year and still be sane and injury free.
