Made a decision to be out everyday this week no matter what and want to clear a min of £500 by Friday.
Like Dazmond Im leaving my WFP at home and using ladders with lad footing the bottom where required.
Fortunately I had only swapped half my round over to WFP so these are the ones getting done this week.
-5 at the moment but will be as high as -2 by lunchtime
Working on theory of heated houses the glass will be warm so no problems with freezing on glass b4 i can squeege it off ..... thats the theory anyway.
Should be +5 in this area from Thursday onwards ?
11.30 update
Well at least I tried.
Went out first house water froze on glass so went to car shop got screenwash and poured into bucket ...... still froze
still -5 so probably why .... would use antifreeze but dont want to kill all the mogies from the estate with kidney damage
try again tomorrow
-

yep then just get straight by March and I gotta pay the taxman :o
-
I am seriously considering jacking it in until march. I think a lot of custies would be happy with a 3 season service!! I am seriously dying, I had very little slush fund, all that is gone, and more!! All I am doing lately is paying out, A lot of it is money being spent trying to work i.e £435 night heater for van!! Still cannot work as freezes on glass anyway :'(
I really do not know what to do, My girlfriend is not too happy about the situation either, Hopefully in next couple of days it will be a distant memory :-\

The job or ur girlfriend ? ;)

-
I've been out and done three jobs ok, but water freezing in pole hose and the sections sticking means it's stop for now, and I have some other business to do this afternoon anyway, and I don't mean take a dump.
-
He probably means hes had a good offer from one of his custies to settle one of her debts. ;D
