is scriman the fastest window cleaner
« on: April 05, 2009, 05:01:12 pm »
i was amazed on a recent post that scriman can get through  55 houses a day 8)

looking at the maps he put on and his method of working

ie di only and filling up at custys houses, i reckon he s the new wfp terry burrows ;D

now if i could get 2 employees like him,that will be my retirement sorted

anyone beat 55 a day?

3 bed semi front and back takes me 20ish mins trad...even allowing 5 mins (ish) between jobs that's roughly 3 an hour times 8 = 24 houses per day...with no breaks!

And I'm not for one minute saying I do anywhere this number ::)

55? That means he's doing 7ish houses per hour...1 every 11ish minues! (assuming an 8 hour working day).

I can smell bulls poo poo here ;D

It's not a question of maps etc.  windowwashers you've been in this game a long time and you know what's possible and what isn't...and you know that 55 houses a day isn't! Or more accurately it isn't possible day in day out with what most of us would call a "house".

OK if he was wfp and doing fronts only and they were all in a row then yes I could see it...but otherwise?...Nah!

I'd love to film it but 2 things stop me:

1. I'm in London
2. My camera doesn't have a fast enough shutter speed

If you really can do 55 houses in one day then I'm not worthy...(deep bow)!

scrimman, do you think a good part to do with cleaning that amount of houses is due to using the clampless pole

So even if you're doing "only 40 odd jobs in the day" that's 200 a week!

If you're doing monthly cleans you must have somewhere in the region of 800 customers...! Blimey I didn't realise that Glasgie had that many people ;D

If by this you are asking do I think you are being economical with the truth then my answer is: Absolutely not!!!

I just know what I'm capable of doing and it's not half of what you do (and I don't consider myself the slowest w/c on earth) so I can't help but juggle numbers and wonder how..on the basis you speak truth...why am I so far behind you and where am I going wrong?

I've been doing this for 4 years now but am always ready to learn 8)
