Working in the rain?

Posted by CHUCKK (CHUCKK), 24 November 2003
HI FRIENDS

Today i got pretty wet working in the rain

What deggre of rain do you do you tend to call it quits
my friend will work in any weather but i tend to get the felling that i should back off during heavy rain.

Thanks :

I find that customers don't like it as they feel there's no point in having their windows cleaned. Best not to rub them up the wrong way, they pay your wages! Wink

Having said that, some like to moan whatever the weather! Grin

I agree with fez. The customers dont like it so if i am halfway around a job i carry on but then i pack up.

We have taken over some1 else's round, he was retiring (well only doing bungalows), this was our first time we did the round

Had some1 in a massive 20 quid a go house  say today they didnt want the windows done, as it looked like rain, ok we said, see you in 6 weeks, and away we walked, she came after us and asked if we could call back when it didnt look like rain

i laughed and said "yes if its in 6 weeks time"....what do they take us for, slaves  Shocked Roll Eyes Huh Embarassed

Steve,
Its been raining all day here as well and I have worked harder than ever. Sad
As soon as the wife sees a couple of spots of rain I get a list of jobs as long as your arm. Cry Cry
Roll on dry weather Grin Grin

I had the same problem, I had to pretend that I was busy with "other" stuff - going to the bank, buying window cleaning supplies etc!

I didn't have my feet up honest! Wink
