Congratulations, Brenton! Keep it up!
Yup, not saying donāt do it. Just remember, new or not, you donāt need to be a doormat and your time is valuable.
@Samuel oh. Ok. Yes very true. Thank you for the reminder
I wish I could have afforded to say āI strictlyā when I started out. Now for that matter. Give it up, Iāll take it all.
I got totally sick of it I was getting it from like 1/3 new stores, then I added a line to quotes offering the 1 off price or offering the regular price with a caveat if the second clean is cancelled they will be sent a bill for the once off price remainder.
It stopped that, then I had to have knee surgery and had to let them all go anyway LOL.
3.5 hrs for 25 giant windows with screens (ton of dirt on ledge behind each screen which is floor lvl)
Started the 110 window plaza and after about 1.5-2hrs. I was spentā¦about 2/3 the windows leftā¦
Is this bad for day 1 of WC? I feel like its not worth itā¦idk. Mind you its pushing 100° so im sweating uncontrollablely. Went thru 3 shirts and 2 pairs of shortsā¦
Hey man Iām taking longer than I should be too.
We will find it going faster with experience
Well all my windows go to the ground. So im tearing my knees up kneeling. I pulled out my old pair of knee braces from when i played lacrosse. Helped a ton. But in 100° weather. Up. Down. Up. Down. I think i lost 5-10 lbs in sweatā¦no joke
Yesterday was 13 hours straight glass. I gave my sub a bonus and a dollar raise because he mustered out the last few hours without complaint. I need work. Gimmie more. Lol
For day 1ā¦i had to call it quits for the day. I couldnt continue and do a decent jobā¦not worth my health. Ill go back in the am
Ah well. Makes a window cleaner out of ya. Lol Youāll either get over it or buckle under pressure.
If every client has windows to the ground. f that lol but again it is day 1. I am wicked outta shape. And doing something ive never done before. Think i just need to rest and attack the rest tomorrow
I not as easy as it looksā¦
Youāll get more efficient and faster as time goes onā¦
Stay hydrated, itās a continuous process.
Have fun out there!
@wcs yeah i spent more time taking down screens, clearing dirt & putting screens back. So i need to either learn a better technique to all that or plan on 1 day for plaza and 1 day for shop
It all here on the forum start searchingā¦
PS⦠start earlier in the morning if the day are scheduled to be hot.
I live in TX. For most the year the days are gonna be hot. Lol
The shop took longer than expected which pushed the plaza backā¦so learning experiences
That is awesome. Your sub will be happy
Definatly not. Esp biting off more than you can chew day 1 lol
Heāll be even happier when he gets the process down pat so I donāt need to keep breathing down his throat. Haha
Lol
