Check out houses in the bishops avenue n2

Just had a look but can't find any i used to do for sale but just saw a 9 bed house for 24 mill and a 4 bed flat for 10 mill

No Paul my pockets are not heavy but the wife hires to world champion power lifters to carry her purse!
500 breaks down over a 20 day month to just 25 a day, I am all WFP these days, the ladder is only there for nostalgia.

I have loads in batches, some days I only move the van 4 or 5 times. I start at 8 and usually out by 2pm, repetition and planning are the key mate.

A quick bite and then perhaps a guttering job or a builders clean if I am feeling game.

Green, what the hell is a 20 day month?

Do you clean your customers every 20 days then?

8 start i think i like, i have a psychological block that i cant start until 9. But i started at 8:20 this morning for a couple reasons, and i loved it, i got stuck right in and did better than usual. I might start asking the first few i clean if an early start is ok.

 

[Dave B]

20 day month in my brain means mon to fri 4 weeks then rest of month off..then start again

 

[Pickingpaul]

My uncle is rich (multi millionaire ) but work bloody hard in the building game to get where he is

At 1 point living in a caravan while having 3 propertys he bought all being done up at the same time to sell

Now has over 250 permanent staff and has a box at sandown etc

Lovely guy as he has also been on the other end of the stick

I don't speak to him now as i don't talk to my mum or her side of the family anymore but he is a nice guy

Hampstead is a big money area Paul

Yeah, totally mad eh, if i had that much money to sp nd on a house it wouldnt be anywhere in london, it would be in a tropical paradise, but thats just me

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

No Paul, not every 20 days, there is a guaranteed 4 working weeks to every month, 5 days per working week, that's 20 days.

I work all my customers on a calendar month, no 4 weekly or six weekly business here.

I clean Mrs Smith on the 1st Monday in every month, Mrs Brown on the 2nd Thursday in every month and Rev Jones on the 3rd Tuesday in the month. See? So they all know exactly which day each month they are due.

The beauty of the system is some months are 5 week months so every once in a while you get a real long week off without losing any business, or use it to stack up some gutters or connies etc.

I like the sound of your uncle, propper grafter by the sound

Used to start at 7:30 am, no probs, you just get to know the houses where here up and about..

Why are they always the tight ones who don't want to pay

I filed a small claims with a customer for £12, imagine what I would do to some bloke that has a £10 mil flat that don't want to pay the bill.

My plumber mate told me yesterday he went to a job to hook up a bbq for a customer, 4 storey townhouse somewhere in London, has had the basement dug out to go down another 3 stories.

Customer was bragging about this BBQ costing £10k

'So did you double the hourly rate?' I asked my mate. 'Yup' he replied, and this aint cause the bloke has a £10k BBQ it's cause he's the sort that want's to rub it in the tradesmens face as to how much money he's got.

Bournemouth?

Scunthorpe

Thats what im thinking, so get used to those that dont mind an early clean.

What happened today was i text a customer yesterday to say im due and he said hes on hols and can he pay next week, i had things to do this after noon so i thought, hey i can start early and do that house early as nobodys there anyway, didnt expect i would like it so much, feels good getting started early dont it.

You just blew my mind there, ive often thought thatthe 28 four weekly routeen is a little too often as u end up coming twice a month at least once a year, so u literally clean them 12 times a year?
