your missing the point dazmond, i dont need to earn more i probably earn the same an hour as you do so money is not the issue, i dont need to change so i wont for now i dont want the extra hassle and expense, a lot of the houses i do are on closes where dragging a hose around the back would be UTTERLY ridiculous. i do a round of detached houses with flat roofs on the front, one ladder climb and i can do 4 top windows. i have a week of retirement bungalows, out of principle i wouldnt drag hoses around thier feet as they are a friendly bunch. it simply isnt a necessity to me, why doesnt any one get that?
