Yup, not saying donā€™t do it. Just remember, new or not, you donā€™t need to be a doormat and your time is valuable. :grin::+1:

I wish I could have afforded to say ā€œI strictlyā€ when I started out. Now for that matter. Give it up, Iā€™ll 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 100Ā° so im sweating uncontrollablely. Went thru 3 shirts and 2 pairs of shortsā€¦

Hey man Iā€™m 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 100Ā° 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
