50 a day has to be a typing error! If not why is he complaining about the round growing so fast? with only 300 on the books at 50 a day he is a part timer  ;D

And 50 a day behave mate not a chance unless they only have 3 windows mate
people are not stupid on this forum they have heard it all before



Not to support or otherwise the OP's claim, my dad had a round in Bristol in the 70s & 80s. On some terraced streets I remember he tore through them. He would walk around the top bays with chamois & scrim. He had pretty much every house in the streets he did, so very compact. He was also a perfectionist, so they were all done to a high standard. Sadly he died in January so I can't ask him how many he'd do a day, but it was certainly a lot more than 20. He was useless at business though. He was too cheap and never put his prices up.

Exactly. Learn from your dad. Most on here like your dad, great blokes, but not much money.

We've got 14 jobs booked for today two people average house is about £20+ we'll start at 10 and be back in house for 3pm. Theyre all pretty close together so I would say the 20 mark is just about achievable.

Yes two men, so I would say 12 of those £20 houses I could do on my own. However if they were terraced houses all in same street probably more than 20.
