I tell you what i am fed up with window cleaning. Its great pay and its given me a good living. But after 13 years im beginning to wane and want to do something else.

[Smurf]

What do you fancy doing next?

[Richard Stevenson]

35 years and still enjoying most of it.  Bet your back in 6 months,  the grass is not always greener.

[Clever Forum Name]

Started in 2001 and excited I have many years left of work.

The job I am on today just reminds me why I love my job.

I know that feeling Marc but I don't want to do anything different just wish we could win lottery n do naf all 

[lee_dewing]

Hi. Marc.

No disrespect, I maybe wrong but you seem to run your round very regimented which I'm sure makes you earn alot more than me.

But if I worked in all weathers I think I would have given up years ago.

Or told customers in advance the exact day and time I would be back that would wind me up.

Do you offer any other services?

I thinking of going into gutter clearing.

Maybe if you had a gutter vac you could do this on the wet but not to wet days as I believe it to be more profitable.

Needing less time spent out in miserable weather.

They say a change is a good as a rest

Keep going mate.

Ps. I do work all year round in most weathers but as someone said intermittent windscreen wiper weather

[David Salkeld]

Why. Are you just bored with window cleaning?
Sit down and think about it.
DO NOT let it get too late.
I know the feeling.

[chris turner]

We all have bad days.
Take my day today, went to use my gutter vac for just the second time, damn thing won't turn on
Thought it might be a dodgy extension reel so plugged vac directly into customers socket, still nothing. Had to reschedule the job until I get it sorted, very embarrassing.
Then on way to next job, whilst I'm still cursing my luck, a friggin stone hits the windscreen causing a huge chip
Sometimes sh@t happens and you just have to laugh.

if you sell up you will never get the work you have now.     have yourself a holliday abroad,      you can go AI  in Turkey 4 star hotels for £5-600  in May beginning,     have a break and rethink how lucky you are to be able to do what you want and when.
no brainer.
Where are you based ,  if near me i ll have your work

[johnny bravo]

Surrey,  too far

[Dave Willis]

Can't say I love my job anymore. Certainly don't hate it like my last one but God, it's boring at times.

I think im just having a down moment.

 

Just fed up with muddy hoses, gritty poles, dog poop that goes all sloppy in this wet weather and seems to coat everything with a nice poopy whiff. The high winds and rain and dark evenings. I feel like I want to hibernate. I suffer with depression anyway so that dont help. Thanks for the positive comments

Hi Marc,

I think we both started up about the same time. Window cleaning is now about 30% of my work, I exploited the "add ons"
And am doing really well.

It also relieved the boredom of the same thing every day!!!

Very rewarding too if priced right.

Last year I had 3 holidays to Thailand and was supposed to be there for a month xmas and new year just gone, but was mad busy so am going around April time instead.

A change could do you the world of good mate, did with me.

I also treat myself each year, gives you something to look forward too, this year i got this....

 

[lee_dewing]

Mick what add ons do you do?

Gutter clearing, pressure washing?

Slowly get rid of your dog poo garden jobs and create yourself your perfect round where you actually enjoy visiting the properties. I was cleaning a property for a friends elderly mum who has 2 dogs- she lets them crap all over so it ends up with me looking at the ground more than the windows. Had enough so dumped! it makes me smile knowing I don't have to suffer anymore
