Havent done it, but customes get funny when its just half dark "you arent going to do them now, surely?"

Imagine they wouldnt like it, thought was tempted to do a friends this evening that needed doing so could see how good a job did tomorrow!

Would be worried about missing bird much/marks where birds hit windows that need extra soaking/scrubbing tho.

Clean 5 bus stations inside and out in west yorkshire every month, can't start until 11:30pm until buses stop running, no problems apart from waking the odd tramp dossing down for the night..

Dazmond, one thing I am not is a busy fool  ;),  some how I ened up with a load more work that I could'nt get done in daylight hours, so I just carried on working, still a few behind but nearly cleared all the work.

I started in the dark this morning and finished in the dark tonight, I am knackered though couldn't keep that up much longer, so yes I have wfp domestic in the dark, but it usually just one last house or so

if my window cleaner turned up in the dark i would tell him not to bother again, thats got to be the daftest thing to do.

Well Mr window slosher tell the court again what happened. It was pitch dark and the old lady came around the corner and didn't see the hose trailed across the pavement.

GUILTY - take him down to the cells.

wot was the old dear doing pounding the streets at that time of morning anyhow!? coming back from night out, or nicking stereos?! in fairness valid point, extra health and safety implications there.

I did a commercial job as the sun was coming up for the first time the other week. Had to do it before town gets busy.

Didn't see the top of the frames to well. (3 stories up)

Only an option on commercial i think.
