Hi Lesa
My Mrs works with me, she has done for nearly 10 years. I always used to do the ups and her the downs, we got our work down to 2 days a week. Now we've gone to wfp we still work together but on separate houses as we were getting tangled up, so we both take an ipod each to listen to.
My wife Katy will reel out and reel in with regular house pipe ( I do most of the reeling in as I'm a bit fussy) she uses a 12ft GF pole, sometimes a 20ft GF pole and also when needed uses a backpack full. She prefers it to trad. She's not a muscle woman.
Only problem I can see with both working together is that if you can't work due to weather or something then no money at all, where as if you keep your job then there is always a bit of income coming in. However this has never really posed a problem for us and having the time off for other things is a big factor to consider.
Simon.
