i get in a box around october then cover my self in hay then get up around march ;D its ok because my dole is paid by direct debit.
no only joking though thats what some customers think. i work pretty much as normal but i miss the extras like gutter cleaning etc. but last winter was particularly bad with ice stopping work for around 4 weeks for me
-
The winter just past(if indeed it has passed) was my first winter and I had almost 4 weeks that I couldn't work. There were other days where I didn't go out till mid morning because the water was freezing on the windows. Best bit of advice I got when I started from a guy of about 30 yrs experiance was to get thermal tops and bottoms.
But let's not worry about that just now, I'm just wondering what factor sun cream to get for the summer months ;D
-
u work the days u can, but if its too bad there is nothing u can do, but that doesnt matter when u r signing on lol ;D ;D

I think when it snows they should let us sign on from our laptops at home whilst sitting in the hot tub

If you are trad like us, you can work down to minus 5 or 6 when you get the mixture right in your water. This winter we worked upstairs windows with a trad pole and had no complaints. It was a poor standard of cleaning, but we got away with it.
Always put money away for bad times. Make hay while the sun shines, if you know what I mean.
-
i will be using trad pole with hot water and squeegee off and visa versa on the end of the pole!
-
Hot water freezes on windows faster than cold water. I think it's something to do with hot water being less dense than cold water.
-
never knew that m8,will remember that cheers
