just thinking

[jc jason]

You know when your thinking about stuff and something pops in your head , well here is one.

How long can i clean windows for , I remember in my 20s flying up the triple ladder know one on the bottom run , all day long. i know the poles easy the load but still its hard some days .

So anyone got any thoughts

How many houses could you do when your reaching retirement age.

My first thought is: what do you do outside of work in terms of being active/fitness??

Not gonna go into figures on here. My 66 year old dad COULD out perform me on every day if he wanted to.

Regular dancing makes his stamina level really good.

He's WFP

I know a few on here practice martial arts. Yoga is fantastic too. And Qigong. As we get older we need to drop the ego a bit and seek what's actually good for us for a change. Just my outlook.

Hopefully by the time i feel my age i will have enough top quality work to do 2/3 days a week to give me a good wedge and keep me active, my step dad was still climbing trees as a tree surgeon at 65, keeping active is the key

Yep been thinking about this myself recently as I nearly 40

Reckon I got another 40 on the glass

 

[Markyboy 50]

I'm in my 50s. Been on the glass for over 35 years. I still work at the same speed as I always have. Can still do a 12 hour day if I feel like it. Mind u I only do 3 days a week

can't say personally but i do have 1 full time plumber and 1 part time plumber work for me

and the part time one has been married over 50 odd years and his still as fast ( and twice as eager) as the full time fella in his 30's.

the fella just enjoys working (he goes swimming once a week but apart from that no other exercise).

same with a plasterer i know he was very big commercially sold up and wouldn't need to ever work again yet in his late 50's on a freezing winters morning in December he was up the scaffolding rendering on a job.

Some people can't help it it is part of who you are

I can't see myself ever retiring i will just be behind the scenes rather than on the tools but i am not the sort who can do nothing
