Pays better than wetting windows, jealousy is such a cruel mistress ?

My part time modelling career helps balances things out ?

I applied for that oversized modelling job but apparently I was told I was to oversized for it ?

That’s why I have all the aches and pains it’s hard work looking this good ?

It might be an idea just to drop the hint to your customers “guys, i’m getting older & i’m creaking a bit, if i am a bit later than normal please forgive me” i doubt they will even notice if you’re say, a week or two later than normal. If you can’t keep pace just slow down [emoji4]
We mix front & front & backs as the others have said. If you dont get through the day or run out of daylight, just pick up the pieces next day [emoji4]

I found its better not to give specific dates because of weather and work commitments. I just say first week of the month and all seem happy with that.

No you would need to input all the postcodes manually. The app isn't something I would suggest using daily, just to plan initially.

As @HALTON has said you can use the @Squeegee App but I believe it only has a route planner for the days work that you have already put in

No. You can select future dates.

You can indeed. What I meant was it wouldn't put this chaps entire round in order unless he put all that work into one day, only the work for each individual day.

Close... again a no. Only because the planner in Squeegee can currently only optimise 24 jobs on a route.

I ain’t got any days with 24 jobs so can’t say I’ve noticed mate. Good to know for future though

It's a technical limitation of the Google route optimisation service, but we will be changing this as we are building out support for many more way points.

However, in the latest build which will be out very very soon, you can filter by rounds in day pilot and optimise each individually, so if you create sub rounds for a day that are less than 24, then this will work perfectly even on days with many more jobs ?

You need to arrange all your work into area’s(most important) and then frequency. You don’t want to be going into the same area twice unless your frequency means you have to. Your best bet is to do your work in repetitions of your least frequency. For example my least frequency is fortnightly so all my work is split into fortnightly area repetitions with my higher frequency work being divided equally into these repetitions so that Im turning over roughly the same every week. By doing this your footprint will be minimal meaning a lot less travelling. This method is easier with more compact clumps of work but still achievable even if your work is sparse. I don’t know if these modern apps use this algorithm but in twenty years of arranging and running multiple rounds I’ve found this to be the most efficient way of doing things.

Agree with this.

I’ve become friends with another windie who has bought work off me, and still pays me for new work.

Takes two of us 6-7 weeks to get around. Don’t want anymore than that.

Pub time ?
