« **on:** February 03, 2008, 04:43:30 pm »

just wondered how long you had been wfp & would you consider going back trad on a full time basis . ive been wfp for over 2 years now and would not consider going back trad . unless i was forced into this by a drought order .

About two and a half years for me and dithered for a year making my mind up before that
Would i go back to ladders? only if forced really dont want to do that anymore i like not being totally knackered at the end of a long day
If a hose pipe ban was permanant then i would look into other ways of making a living as i have dodgy ankles and ladder work is not for me anymore

2 years 4 months here. The thought of reverting to trad full time would be a nightmare. The only trad work I do now is a bit of inside work and a few elderly peoples bungalows.

7 Years for me and still use trad for insides and some shop fronts but would not go back working off ladders full time again!!

9 months wfp for (hasn't that gone quickly?

)

I would want to go back to full time trad, as I can't bothered with ladders.
I've got no problem with squeegee work downstairs though, and I do nearly all bungalows by hand to save time and bother.

I have been WFP now for 2 years but I am also traditional, more trad than WFP.
I find it works for me and enjoy the world of window cleaning.
