Since i got back from holiday sunday i have been tradding wherever possible

It may seem a step in the wrong direction but i am actually enjoying myself

Had a couple of softwash jobs and broke the wfp out for a few awkward windows but been trad poling and using ladders and loving it

Anyone else ever feel like a change to break the monotony?

 
i do a lot of trad any way as im on shop fronts 3 mornings a week then rest wfp and guttering vacing so it never realy gets to boring i thault ide have a change to day and use cold water insted of how for a few jobs just for a change:D

 
I've been doing some softwash etc too so my day does get broken up

I will end up doing more big jobs rather than windows soon the way it is going now

Got my first big render softwash week after next

Did a small one today..cleaned lean too conny roof and sides and did the render round the windows etc too

 
Yeah I had the same this morning - there's a few roads I do that are just 'quicker' from a ladder (lots of roofs to run along to do upstairs etc) and it is refreshing sometimes. I tend to just do what I feel like most days rather than stick to either method. Entirely depends on the house I'm at. Just about to order a Moerman Fliq too to try that out!

 
That's how i am most of the time

I work how i feel at that time

Can't wait to get my hands on the excelerator finished product

I have been informed i will be receiving the finished one when it is ready before it is released to have a play with

That will be fun on my harris pole

 
My ladder will always stay firmly on the roof.

Never tradded apart from having a dabble on my own windows and doing insides. It is quite enjoyable but as soon as a ladder comes into the equation it becomes a ball ache. Glad I started in the wfp era

Agreed, just the way i like it as well lol. Just seems to me why bother doing a house that requires extra effort when i can simply not do it and find another thats to my liking.

 
Being a professional means you do the ones Joe bloggs cant do him self, thats the whole sum of being the pro, i clean house i get to as long as its safe and i am being payed for the time taken. only looking for easy jobs you will be competing with every cleaner that like the simple jobs, going a little out the way can make it easy getting custys and earn a good living, just saying.

So in this case @adamangler is joe bloggs

 
Haha if you lads want to make the job more difficult crack on.

If i can make my job as easy as possible thats my game.

Never had a problem with any windows not being do able by wfp. If someone asked me to do a house trad I would decline it. Because I'm wfp only not going start doing something I don't want to do when there's plenty of work out there that fits my criteria.
