Title: IT never fails to amaze me
Post by: slap bash on November 09, 2014, 01:58:32 pm
So many come on here and need advice and that is what this place is good at. But the thing that amazes  me is how little do any research before committing to going out and making a living as a window cleaner. There is a lot to know for an industry that we say anyone can do with out much knowledge.
I think we just under rate themselves when saying its easy.
Every thing is easy when you know how.
What with spotty window, fly poo, customer who wont pay, leaded glass window, RO `s DI`s Tds carbon poles or even were to buy the right kit to don. Saw two new windies this week new van and dark glasses though they were on the beach,as if this what they think windies should look like, very cool. And the list goes on and on. Is it not about time we as window cleaner find a little pride in knowing our industry, its not that easy. If it was, this forum would be dead. Any one say, Ye.  ::)roll ::)roll ::)roll ::)roll

Yes quite agree. I put it on a par with brain surgery.
Took me two years of intensive training to fit a protecta ball.
