Steve,

 I couldn`t do or see how anyone can do 8 or 9 an hour, not properly anyway.
 I could do 3 maximum but I don`t flog myself anymore.

This could mean I`m past it too  

    Gerry.
ps I wish my customers could read this and see what you lot charge.

Hi Mark
          If you can do 8 or nine an hour you wouldn't be able to take it away. My customers want and get a first class job which you obviously couldn't give

Hi Peter,
            How many would you do in an hour I don't know if the accepted standards are different in the South but i have never known anyone do six an hour consistently all day  

Steve

Not now but when I did, and I am talking about ladder work, I would do one in 10 minutes easy.
I dont know if it is smaller than yours but each one would have about 8 to 10 windows.  

I never did work a full day, my days work consisted of around 4 hours, but I did enough in that time to earn a living.

Most other people in my area would work at about half the speed I worked at, you dont have to be running around you just need to work as efficiently as possible.

Peter was that with your pole

[Peter Fogwill]

Peter was that with your pole

No with ladders.

One example of working more efficiently is not detailing the windows, that can take nearly as long as soaping up, and sometimes if you leave a lot behind, it can take as long as soaping and squeegeeing.  I dont mean leave the windows a mess, I mean don't leave anything behind to detail.  

When I worked with scrims I only cleaned it out about once a week, no I didn't go about with a dirty scrim, I just very rarely used it.

Hi Peter
           How did you do quarter lights without a scrim

Steve

Hi Peter

Steve

I did them with a squeegee. I did have a scrim; I just never used it much.  I would use the scrim sometimes on quarter lights if there was not much on them, but mostly a squeegee.

I did Georgian squares with a squeegee as well.
