Thanks. How do you store it, on a reel? If so which one. My problem is keeping it tidy. Easy enough when it’s warm but when it’s cold the stuff I use is like wire.
Lost an hour this afternoon because I drove round the back of lockups to clean the back of a house. We used to be able to continue driving down and round onto the tarmac until the boy racers were using it as a race track. The moment I stopped the van and seen the big concrete bollard I knew I was in trouble especially with the rear wheel drive my van has. A few guys came out and helped me by placing fencing boards under the wheels and pushing me out. In the end I lost an hour and think I will design plywood boards that fit together to see if it works by spreading the vans weight. Watch this space!
Yes Colin - likewise for eleven years.
Perhaps Spruce might pass on our condolences and grateful thanks.
I have edited the title of the sticky thread. Please feel free to use either thread.
Was thinking of cutting a few down to 400mm by 2400mm and then fixing something on top to give a bit of grip.

Some of us wouldn’t turn up to clean domestic jobs in the peeing rain either but each to their own 😉I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.
You clean residential between christmas and new year ?
Always have done, since I started in 2008. Usually do a round or two between Xmas and new year, all my work is monthly, so each week there is work due, I tend to stick to the routine unless we’re away on holiday…
No way would I be turning up to clean domestic jobs in between xmas and new year but each to their own!😆

Your average day is only 3.5 hours long?
Yep, that’s the average now, latest midday. This week haven’t been later than 11am.
Leave the house at 7:15am. Or earlier on commercial.
My round is now so well refined, even my domestic work requires less than 4 hours to hit a good wage. I could earn more, but I’m very happy where I’m at, my work like balance is perfect now.
Would also add, I work fast, I’m very efficient and I don’t mess about. I get it done and get home.
Is most of your work Commercial Zesty? I’m guessing it must be if you’re starting most days at 7:30. I do the same on Commercial but as it’s still dark there’s no way I’d start domestic work at that time especially in the winter.
