Well done for having your motivation after 25 years.
This guys been at it 50 years... https://www.expressandstar.com/news/2018/01/18/window-cleaner-john-winds-down-after-50-years/
I started in 95 working for some old drunk with my mate, it's what a lot from the scheme done but running up ladders every day for a few years on and off just to finish early eventually didn't seem the way to go. I only came back to this game in February 2013 I liked the look of the wfp and had been watching folk when I was driving the waggons. Good thing I done was buy an slx 22 after a or two of using a glass fibre pole.

quarter of a century cleaning windows!

i started in january 1993 aged 21.........hopefully ive got another 25 years left yet with a bit of luck lads......

Well.....that's your apprenticeship done

I started around 1968 - retired 'off the tools' in 2009.  Did a few odd bits in between but always came back to this.  Can honestly say that I've enjoyed every minute* of my shining career and still doing so today

*except the bit where I fell off a window sill in 1977 - ouch!  Still limping

A Jubilee slip.

Oh, you're on form this morning.

I fell off ladders at least 3 times in the seventies.
Cleaned for 7 years back then and swore I'd never clean again
20 years in  a 'good' ICI job that I hated, left to clean again in 1999, still going at 61 albeit part time.
Creaking at the joints but there are a LOT worse jobs out there
Stress is still part of any job but I'm too  thick to do anything else 😂

[jonboywalton75]

ive still got some of my original customers but a lot have moved away or died over the years......ive also sold some work here and there..

since i went wfp and found this forum my round has gone from strength to strength.

32 years this year and 29 of them self employed.
Started a builders clean the last two days and as I slid through the mud and snow on site I admit I found it hard to be positive about it these days.
Nah i love it.
Spring is just around the corner.

Just pack in the builders cleans, you know you'll be happier 😁
