[KS Cleaning]

⬆️ easily done with the right work but that won’t seem easy if your averaging 90 odd houses a week if they are small or medium sized properties.

I disagree, that is easily done if they are small or medium houses and relatively compact……unless of course you have to justify high prices by over cleaning each house!

[dazmond]

Im going to experiment with a "monster monday" tomorrow

470 quid of regular cleans (32 houses) plus a con roof and a fsg booked in. The fsg and con roof i dont normally do but i promised them ages ago when i had last guy working for me so now im reaping the rewards of taking on jobs i dont want to do anymore 

Idea is if i can rattle off 500 quid of work i`ll be done by wednesday. 3 days a week is my aim from now on.

Bet i change my mind and come home early and dont get it all done though  it sounds a good idea sat on my sofa.

Rather you than me Adam....

Why would you want to bust a gut tomorrow,tuesday and wed?

I'd prefer to work 4 shorter days than try to squeeze that work into 3 days.ive got the gym tomorrow evening,I go and see my dear old mum on tuesday evening and off to girlfriends on Wed evening for the city champions league match.

Trying to squeeze all that work in will just result in risking RSI and being very tired in the evenings and getting fed up with the job...its just not worth it IMO.

I've tried cramming four days work into three days before.
Total different ball game more aches and pains and the stress of working flat out not for me.
I subbed out a little bit more and am now back to four manageable mornings and three days off

Definitely easier done with small houses,

I can be flying along then it only takes one big awkward one to knock the stuffing out of me and put me off my flow.

Today I have a mix, worst jobs still to do and they are big ones.

It's getting a bit warm as well 

[dazmond]

I worked 9am-3pm with 30 mins for lunch.(12 jobs cleaned)

£325...that's plenty for me.

[Stoots]

I worked 8 till 3:45 then I gave up knackered didn't manage to finish everything I booked in. 27 jobs plus a conny roof done. Sacked the fsg off I had nothing  left 

I did set a new PB of £457  but it didn't seem worth it couldn't do that everyday.

I think that record might stand a while

It's my every day life that is important to me these days...if I'd of worked 8 hours today I would probably sack off the gym tonight as I would be too tired from the days work.

If you are too tired to go the Gym after a standard 8 hour day you may have other issues Daz. That’s definitely not normal.

I’ve worked 8-4:30 today and been for a 6 mile run after work. A good chunk of this afternoons work was 4 stories too.

Are them kind of hours normal for you ?

Today was the most mind numbing hard day I've had for years  .

I guess it's difficult to gauge I mean you can work hard for 8 hours or work easy for 8 hours....one person's hard may be another's steady so who knows who's worked harder whether 6 or 8 hours.

[windowswashed]

Mustn't let work overtake your life. It will ruin your health and your personal life,....... nothing is worth it. Stay balanced,  work is simply a means to pay the bills and live a life before you are too old and too tired to be able do all the things you had planned.

Beans on toast? Think how many tins of beans you could buy with 325 bags 

[DJW]

Dazmond, if you can’t manage a full day:

How old are you mate?
What's your diet like?
Do you drink alcohol excessively?
Do you smoke?
How's your sleep?
What exercise do you do?(cardio/weights,etc)

I work between 6-8 hours a day, 5 days per week. I work hard enough to earn good money but not like the 30-40 houses a day like you do.

Typical day will be either 15 stand alone houses if on domestics or a single office unit if on commercial. I love the commercials that are £300+ days and can take my time on them, this is my cream work.

At the age of 42 working 6-8 hours a day then doing some type of physical exercise in the evening shouldn’t be an issue unless you are seriously overweight or physically unfit.

6 hours on the glass,

Then home to continue house renovations, two young kids, life is busy.

Couldn’t work 8 hours a day, I’d get far too bored. Love coming home and having time on the house and seeing kids.

That’s pretty good going Deegee.

Been there done that with young family and house renovations, it was a seriously difficult time. My kids are a bit older now, 8 and 14, life is still busy with coaching football etc but it’s not as stressful as when the kids were young.

I'm the same really always got a d.i.y project going on  since I moved in a year or so ago....currently digging up the back lawn to re turf. Got a never ending list of things to do after that, 5 kids and a few hobbies I never stop.

I love working on the house to be fair I can't wait to get home some days to crack on. Window cleaning is just a job to me that gets in the way, an incovenience to the things i really want to be doing...D.i.y is a hobby for me, really enjoy it.

We re all different, there is no 'normal'...I'm also 10 years older than you.i get bored after 5 or 6 hours cleaning too.

Maybe i should re phrase that...I have more energy for the gym if I work shorter hours....

I've never worked 8 hours in a day for many years and I'm not gonna start again now!

Yes. 3 don't live with me but still cost me £ and weekends are pretty much taken over with kids 

5 birthdays a year plus Christmas etc it feels like my hand is constantly in my wallet 

This is part of the reason I hate working 5 days a week I need a day off to do something for myself

[dazmond]

I tend to use a weak hypo solution  these days,  cuts down the amount of scrubbing.
also as its a bungalow, I would rinse off with a gentle pressure wash.
I normally book jobs like this in on a saturday morning.

how long it will take  X  wanted hourly rate  + small allowance for unforseen ball ache  =   price

I cleaned a small bungalow the other day...

F/s/g £50
Windows £20

Took me 50 mins and I just used WFP (🔥 hot pure water).

No chemicals
No pressure washer

Very easy job!😄
