**** 5 im on 6 most times and do around 50 hour a week on windows its just constant when finished start at start again

i was thinkinh to myself when walking round town how much i can do on me own and im near it i think when the boy wonder comes along my time is fecked 400+ a month is hard work and takes time and effort to build and determination to make it work is a must

but i really enojy it gives a good buzz seeing the houses gleaming afterwards

if u dont enjoy it find a job u do enjoy as u only live once and its to short a time to do somethin u no like

 
this is a interesting thread someone being totally honest

as soon as i had enough work had two man team hate working on my own

was,int so bad trad but wfp working on own total pain.

i,m totally motivated by money for the pleasures in life

as our fellow brothers have said this is,int for everyone working on your own is hard

no crack all day you have to work your chestnuts off for gd cash

gd luck matey

 
I am new to self employment as you 5 months in soon and find it good some days and bad some days depend on my mood. (And weather)

I have around 100 custys and i am acctualy quite pleased with the workload i got now and size of my round and the freedom it gives.

Unfortunatly i live in a place with worlds higest taxes so i dont get so much bread on my table from what i got now, so i hope tp begin my taxi license om monday and within a couple of months drive taxi during evening and weekends so i can have my fredom intact and earn a okay living.

For me its now about Big bucks but freedom and life quality. Plus taxi driving give bring some new to the days /emoticons/smile.png

 
Lol, does it keep up with buffer tank? At the mo my 15lpm loncin (also jetmac, but getting old now) doesn't ever run my buffer tank dry, was worried 21lpm would?
Mine kind of gets no lower than down to 3/4 full if the trigger is on for a long while, but that's about it...
Depends on the domestic supply, usually it keeps up fine, but not always.

 
Don't think I would take anyone on, I would lose my freedom, I like the fact I can pick and choose when I work, what time I start, what time I knock off etc, having someone with me would negate all that.

 
I am still tempted by the idea of building big but it seems a lot of aggro and i am earning well at the moment (not that you can ever earn too much)

 
cheapie likes his own company if he wants a chat....

he comes on here....you lot keep me going...thanks..me likes the banter..

only ever done window cleaning so cant see me ever changing...

and now I have somewhere to moan about it on here..

all though I moan about being busy ...well ..I know really ..me loves the challenge..

roll on monday cheapie is ready and waiting for his next adventure...

yes three storey flats ..dont look down cheapie..

yep cheapie still goes up in the world...

gotta do em been paid now.../emoticons/biggrin.png

 
then if u build big u have other worries like vat

pensions lol like theyr worth the paper there wrote on

excessive wear and tear of equipment and vans ~ people wud be rakin the hell outta vans and wrecking the poles and wouldnt give a ****

jobs not gettin done rite / tarnish ur rep

then worst part of all going big be the paper work

 
yep with you on that but on the other hand...its only a cheque in the wifes purse could be ages before it goes in the bank...

best bit was....hes a farmer and I got there no one around so thought I will get stuck in

he turns up and gives me a cornetto...

and off he goes...so crack on..yeh...er ..how do you eat a cornetto and wfp the windows..

so I stuffed it all in...piggy..

and she turns up...

well it was too cold to eat...so I had to spit it all onto my hand whilst I talked to her..

we had a laugh about it though...

I do one who pays for six months and thats a real pain...

but...I use it as a fill in when I try to skive off early I think well just squeeze one more in...

anyway she let slip shes working monday and tuesday...guess when cheapie cleans them..?

 
I have roughly 20 jobs to do monday and am still happy doing em on me jack jones as i am the only one who would tolerate me

 
I can be hard work..when we went to get my son diagnosed for aspergers i ticked all the same boxes as him on the assessment forms

Wife says we are peas in a pod

In our day we were "the naughty kids"

 
sure this has been one of my hotest days on the glass11am so so hot, had to take some time out

no problems after lunch
How weird - I had exactly the same today. Bang on 11am started feeling ruff as ****.......stopped & had a wee break & grub and was ok for another 4-5 hours.

Am sure it was hotter on Tuesday but felt it much more today. Only did 6 and a half houses today but worth enough bob to make it the most profitable day of the week - am tired now though.

Bring on the weekend /emoticons/smile.png

 
yeh so weird

the sickener is if i had made loads of cash i would be laughing my bobby off

but no today, **** work and the heat just held me back
