Thanks for your comments Guy's.
I will say this to you all, Under normal circumstances, I never discus my earnings on an open forum, I have no worry's about the taxman so I'm happy to discuse this for the following reasons.
The main reason for this post is to encourage any wc who may be hesitating to change from Trad to wfp as I myself did.
I did a farm today with high windows and my ladder was always at full extent, it was always stood on welsh slate, in wet weather I used to c**p myself, Today with wfp I flew through the Job with ease, and all from the safety of the ground, I had no worries about facing the customer because of my speed and I have no intentions of reducing my price, I even had 2 customers ask me, if I wanted more money, because of laying out money for all the new equipment, No price increase I say, but tell them Brand New customers Only
will pay for the increase, this I think Just makes them feel better. and will price any new customers as I would if I was doing it Trad.
I don't think I would hit this target every day, but will set myself daily targets depending on the days work.
This was my very first day out with my trailer in tow, so I wasnt governed by the amount of water I had.
just before xmas I took a full backpack and a couple of 25ltr containers, just to get the hang of wfp,Tomorrow is a new day with a full tank, I will get out a little earlier than today, so will get more done, as tomorrow is all wfp work.
I will also remind some guy's not to forget the area you are from, I get the impression the further south you go the higher the price you can get, and luckly enough I live in the South. but it doesn't matter were you live, you will be faster and safer, and at the end of the day you will feel better, Well in the mind anyway
My arms are killing me, in a few weeks time I recon I'll be like popeye
my legs ache a little, as does my back, I am 50 yrs old so have an excuse. and I know these pains will go once I get use to a different working method.
This time last year, I was more like squeeky,(no offence meant to you squeek) no way was I going to change over to wfp. but thanks to the encouragement from wc forums like this one, I am more than willing to openly admit that it is the best move I ever made.
