About 2oclock the rain eased off, so i finished the other 5 houses left to do

Best day i've had so far.

I am a newbie,and i am not trad (although i have been doing more and more trad lately insides).I know i am slow...but 10 houses an hour made me feel snail like.just out of interest, how many average three bed semi's do you lot do in a day,say 9am-4pm,trad and wfp

[Dave Willis]

Ahh I remember now what comes next. 
Another guy used to post like this.
In half an our or so Ryan will let slip that he wasn't exactly on his own but working with another guy or two.

Anyone remember Platinum NW?  On this forum he was a director of a major construction company. On another forum he is into finance and car sales.

Still reckon JDMarco was the best.

I think I`ve sussed it, & it looks like nice work if you can get it!

i think a few porkies are bein told methinks unless most were fronts only and you missed a few windows and doors(thinking bathroom windows/frosted doors etc!).

i knew a guy who charged £2 a house a few years ago but missed windows out if there was no birdmuck on them/no door/bathroom windows cleaned.one dirty scrim and would brag about cleaning 40 houses a day!(thing is it was only £80!) : ::)foolish and crazy!!no sills cleaned either.cowboy.

if your doing all them houses a day ryan your not doing a proper job and rushing and your in danger of having an accident on the ladders with all that running around esp if its wet.

much better to go at a steady economical pace and charge a bit more and do a proper job!
