I'm 34 and look a lot younger than my brother who is 38.

My Dad did it trad until he was 72 and he had the most ridiculously heavy ladder I've ever used. He's shoulders are wider than my van though!  ;D

Well the good news is that we are now living longer.... 

Assuming I'm still fit enough I'll be happy to work into my 60s & 70s (although it may be part-time). I'd much rather work than sit watching the TV all day (with subtitles on), like some of my customers do.

I am 34 , been window cleaning  for 18 years this summer , been wfp for about 10 years .... I feel wrecked some days and I keep myself active by playing football and running etc .... But the thought of my shoulders , neck and back still trying to strain over a conny roof to reach that awkward window at 70 years of age ... Depresses me lol
