Tuesday was raining all day so didn't work and just chilled out knowing the rest of the week was nice weather and good money, dropped kids back to there mums at 6,30 as I have them 3 days a week. Get back in van and it won't start, straight away I new it was starter motor, brother in law helped me bump start it so drove it straight to my local garage so it was there for them in morning as they normally put themselves out for me (unlike the misses) then the handbrake decides to go as I get there, phoned garage in morning and they said they'd make it a priority, I told them to do any other work that needs doing while it was there. 2 New tyres, front break pads, front drivers bearing, hand brake all done but starter motor can't be done till next day, so as I had Tuesday off I can't spend any more time in doors as it bores me. So I fill my bag of leaflets, pad and pen and hit the streets canvassing and leafleting houses no one is in for the last 2 days, 12 new jobs £296 Monthly canvassed and got to quote 2 gutter jobs, 1 conservatory clean and 2 houses for windows tomorrow as couldn't get there today as no transport, so now at least I still feel I've worked.

Thats really good and proactive. So many think its easy, it isn't, its hard work building a business. But once you do it you'll reap the benefits. That work is equivalent to 3600 a year.

Well done RWC! Takes a good attitude to do that. Shame you didn't praise gardiners tho'  ;D
It's a game of three halves!

Hello mate hope all is good, took about 2 years away from the forum as split with misses and started a new relationship, plus when your building a business you spend a lot of time on the forum as you learn something new every day like best poles (gardiners ;) ) problems etc but once you know how the window cleaning world works it just becomes repetitive and questions become the same, but thought I'd come back to see if there was anything new that I didn't know about, but seems like the same people and same questions.

If I had the van with me I would of got the 35ft slx out to impress the ladies.
i was horrible knowing my poles where in the garage for 48 hours just glad that they are still working hard for me as was worried they would be upset with me for leaving them for so long. One thing I've found with gardiner poles is they are very forgiving
