[gewindows]

Cuh! Yea. Who'd want to double there income anyway!!

[JSMC]

double yer income another fable from on here. yeah it's a good tool but not all it's cracke dup to be. Seriously thinking of selling it now.

[gewindows]

It might be a fable from where you are sat mate but it doubled my income, just about.

Yours hasnt doubled as you spend all day moaning about it 


What you selling, my missus wants to get into this game too, she's seen what it can do and wants a piece.

[dave f]

Whatever size van you have, you can't go wrong with a truck heater. Whack up the thermostat and it will be like a sauna in the morning. Ok they are expensive, but in the long run it will pay for itself and the best bit? It will use less than 1 litre of diesel overnight!

sounds like its the last of the summer lads who cant handle it ,winter sorts the men from the boys every time.

[sgibsoncleaning]

does seem like that, this is the hardest cold snap for several years. its definatly sorted out the men from the boys my phone is ringing keep getting stopped while working, all the newcomers have quit when it got cold

Its not the system its the weather, and considering your in Scotland where the weather has been minus degrees the science is water freezes at these temps so its not the systems fault

mate i managed to keep mine frost free but 7am this morning started a commercial and the glass froze straight away, stuck the pole against my roofrack while i reeled in and reached for the pole to find the brush had frozen to the roofrack, so waited till 8.30 to get in for the internal glass and eventually got working on the outsides at 10.30 even then i could only do the high stuff as ground floor was freezing all the paths up, at least on the first floor the water turned to ice before it could become an ice hazard. trad wasnt any better by though, it was freezing to the glass as well

Got to laugh at the people who say WFP has doubled there income they must of been absolutely useless with a squeegee.

Or just very good with the pole 

[ccmids]

i feel sorry for you northern lads its always raining , snowing , windy , foggy , freezing all year round up there , 

[gewindows]

Got to laugh at the people who say WFP has doubled there income they must of been absolutely useless with a squeegee.

I was trad for 11 years mate, I worked perfectly adequately off a ladder and most who worked with me said they couldnt keep up, but it's also fair to say that changing over to WFP for me enthused me and gave me a new lease of life. Perhaps its also a reflection of someones ability to adapt to a different manner of cleaning windows.

So I wasn't absolutely useless, I take it you just want to try to get a dig in, I have quite simply adapted to WFP in a far better manner to others, thats a reflection perhaps of their inabilities and not mine.


I see figures quoted on here of how WFP has increased peeps income by 30%-50%, your doing something dreadfully wrong if thats all its given you.

[ccmids]

hear hear

[gary mallett]

totally agree . anybody who is wfp and is moaning about frozen gear or earnings not going up your doing something wrong . its not hard to look after gear you should consider going back to trad as you are giving wfp a bad name with petty moans

[ccmids]

are you holding the pole the right way round , brush at the top
