Jonah

welcome to the site

in our business wfp and trad are both needed its just different tools, if your just starting out trad you'll get good advice on here and maybe you can help others out

you may not like wfp because you dont understand it but one  day you might need it or change to it so try not to be too hastey or negative concentrate on one job at a time.

They are a helpful bunch on this forum

good luck with your business

regards

Brett.

Maybe someone with a hot water WFP can help you out with that.  ;D

i use this forum to ask for advice to offload frustrations and to just chat with like minded people i started trad and went wfp last year but use both depending on job . Now if jonah is just having a laugh then fair enough BUT if not then he should remember we all CLEAN WINDOWS. Wfp users get just as cold and work just as hard and most of us were trad once ok?? Sorry for taking it personal but there you go .There is a lot of help and good advice on this forum no need to start all this crap

Am I the only one on here who is sick and tired of reading posts about wfp ? ....." Oh no me pipes are gonna freeze what am I gonna do " Real men (traditional as my old unit sergeant liked to call us ) are actually going up and down ladders and cleaning windows ! Its ok we understand you have gone soft , but dont worry will carry on while ya pipes are freezing , we get the satisfaction of extra cups of tea and ......" wow we didnt expect to see anyone coming through that blizzard !   Its ok your van looks nice ...... !

Hey Jonah, Ever hear of the phrase 'Work smarter, not harder'? Think about it when you are next climbing up and down ladders all day taking half hour to clean a house! ;)

Who really cares wether you clean windows traditionally or WFP.
It's down to the individual to decide which method they prefer.
I don't knock any traditional window cleaners. I was one myself for several years before my illness  forced me to give up work and left me dependant on help from other people.
WFP has allowed me to re-start window cleaning and give me back my independence.
I treat my job differently now because of my past. I run it as a business as efficiently as I can manage.
I don't do favours of any kind for customers, or free washes, or let them run up an outstanding bill.
It's a business and I only do this job because of the money to pay my mortgage, that's the bottom line.
Who cares what the customers think. So long as I do the best job I can in the quickest time possible, that's it, end of story.
If I could clean a house quicker up a ladder than WFP I would if my health permitted it but it doesn't so I'm stuck with WFP. So I've accepted it and try to do every job with the minimum of effort in the quickest time possible.
It's a means to bring in a wage to live life and enjoy it as no-one knows what life will throw at them in the future. :)

Jonah,

Don't come running back to us when your ladder slips on some icey decking in this weather!

Well if a topic is 'boring' you why not use it as a starting point to start posts, engaged other 'trad' users view,opinions, start a few polls...be positive ....

I thought we had seen the last of these postings. Its not about REAL MEN its about REAL MONEY. Anybody who wants to financially disadvantage themselves by cleaning windows the hard way can't have an opinion worth listening to.

Yes WFP is taking over. You've got to ask yourself why.
