you havent got a chance mate if you think you can clean all upper windows with a squeegee on a pole.i used one for awkward windows when  i was trad but its slow and takes time to do a good job.it only works on large plate glass windows generally and even then you cant clean the frames properly.

i think you need to find some money from somewhere and buy a backpack,trolley and a budget hybrid pole and light brush.DI and barrels.

seriously if you are 35 stone i reckon you are gonna struggle big time.window cleaning is hard work even with wfp.if your committed to a better diet,exercise then you have got a chance.

if you admit your a big fat lazy git then window cleaning is not for you unless you have a drastic change of attitude and lifestyle.

the simple fact is you cannot be lazy in this game if you want to make a living out of it.


very best wishes

Well guys, I have a friend who is going to give one hundred pounds to start the business. The reason is he`s read all the comments & his words were, "you`re the most stubborn bloody minded f#'@er I`ve ever known & if they say you can`t do it I know you`ll succeed just to spite them".
 Not sure if that`s a good thing but it`ll give me a start.
 Thanks for all the advice from you all.

Go on Gerald, show the sceptics that you can do it!

I was told that I would struggle to get enough work when I moved to Ireland. Guess what, I've worked hard and proved it can be done.

Best wishes,
John

"trad pole would be far easier to learn than wfp"



What a load of tripe!
If poling was easier than wfp then nobody would bother with the expense of a van and system.

I think Ian was winding him up!

Either that or trying to frighten him off making him think learning to clean windows by any means is far too difficult

Well got the wagtail delivered today. It`s easy don`t know what you guys are on about, done the upstairs window perfectly first time.
Now back down to earth, bugger me it`s difficult. getting better but not uoto standard yet. I went for the wagtail because having absolutely no experience I thought I might as well start off with one. I now know a ordinary squeegee would have quicker to learn but you live & learn. Always have been one that has to learn the hard way.
 I`ll get there, already got my first customer, it`s myself but you got to start somewhere.
       You may laugh but no pointing & laughing.
