I'm a 4 day week man now.....5 or 6 hours a day...that's plenty of time to earn a good wedge...
Surely you no longer need to work in the rain?

why?

of course i do or else ill get behind schedule or have to work a day i want off.........for instance i never work weekends anymore and im having thursday off next week to concentrate on drumming(we have an early rehearsal on thursday evening).....we also have a gig on saturday night so i dont want to have any of my scheduled 4 days off(mon/tues/wed/fri)and be forced to work a sat to keep to schedule.....

40 hours roughly every week cleaning, quoting is done indirectly through photos so everything but cleaning less than an hour. Done 50+ hours this week if you count travelling to and from work but had the most lucrative week I’ve ever had  ;D

Each to their own but I like to keep to a schedule or else it has a knock on effect for next weeks work,etc....

That's the beauty of running my own business....i can run it how i want to fit into my lifestyle..... :)

I used to be like that , but now my kids are grown up ,  these days I am more chilled and enjoy time off.
my days  of getting drenched are over.
having said that , living in wales it cant be all together avoided.

there is a difference between damp drizzle and what we had today. ie bouncing off the ground!

I get why wc's in the West of the counrty possibly feel the need to clean in the rain simply down to the amount of rain you get. I live on the east side in one of the driest parts of the country and simply wouldn't get away with it, I get enough grief if it's cloudy or the forecast says it might rain later. Can't say I'd want to anyway, I save facias for rainy days and hate doing them as a result.

the truth is if your shying off work on a regular basis just because of a bit of rain your losing thousands of pounds over the course of a year because of the knock on affect to your schedule....i know  as i never used to work in the rain in my trad days! ;D.......

I do around 15 hours per week admin, not on the tools and no out quoting unless it's sunny.

I’m young enough to do 8 hours a day it’s hardly hard work is it haha I used to work like a maniac now hardly break a sweat- I have pretty much perfected my technique
I will work in light rain but if it’s forecast all day and you need wipers on more than intermittent then it’s a day off spend time with my family
If your messing your schedule up having a day off doing 4 days 5 hour weeks then
As said above I also live in an eastern area that’s mainly dry and some places people will turn you away if it’s too heavy
Luckily I can go houses where I know people won’t be home to clean when it’s raining if needed  ;D
