I must disagree with you there. I've done harder jobs - warehouse work moving heavy goods / pallets around by hand. Not fun, not easy and not well paid either.
Never dug trenches for a living or done hod carrying, or laboured for a brickie gang. Just 3 jobs I think more physical than window cleaning.
I aim to please!
And at what height you're working at, fairly certain swinging 47' poles around for a few hours a day is as hard as any job mentioned.
Years ago I had an excel carbon 45 foot pole with an ionics 18 inch commercial head on it and used that for 5 hours a day over 3 days on commercial work every 6 weeks , I sold it to a friend years ago , I was round his place a few weeks ago and he had it in his garage I picked it up and wondered how I ever used it !,,,???? it’s soooooo heavy my ultimate 74 pole is half the weight . I must be turning into a whimp ???
We started off trying to use a 47' fibreglass monstrosity, both my son and I get belly button hernias from the strain trying to use the damn thing. You were tired just extending it, let alone using it. ?
Yeah I agree it is just a job, but life is what you make it and window cleaning is pretty easy I prefer to work on my own so this it's ideal for me plus I get to start and finish when I chose and do what I want, a paye job simply does't offer that at all plus I would have to put up with other people ?
I just realised that I was getting irritated over the last couple of weeks, turns out I have been annoying myself at work, had to pull myself to one side and give myself a verbal warning for upsetting myself.
As you're training to be a Solicitor? At least you can defend and cross examine yourself. You'll save a fortune on legal expenses, especially if you have to appeal the initial decision
Sounds like you are away with the birds. ? Talking about birds, those pigeons are making me some amount of dough. £40 to fit a makeshift bird spike on the horizontal arm of a satellite dish and I made it myself from my sheet of mesh I use for fitting around solar panels. ?
Oooh you think you had it bad.
Yeah still training, although the Covid thing stopped it all. But still swatting up, won't be until 2021 until i can realistically look at starting uni..
Don't know who made ours but it was orange. I still have it in the garage to remind me how easy it is nowadays to use a 47' SLX in comparison.
I only got an slx22 and even that, at some angles when extended I find real painful, like hernia potential. dont reckon i'd handle high/heavy work. Also steel plate in left wrist dont help,
You need bits of steel, more the better, in your body to use a fully extended 47' fibreglass pole.
