Title: Rain. Who is behind on work
Post by: Ben wood on June 04, 2014, 07:27:56 am
As we speak it's bouncing down here. I am running about 1.5 weeks behind but have 4 jobs 3 weeks late. It's starting to annoy me now. How behind are you?

no idea really if im behind as just go out every day and do what needs to be done £££ wise that is.

if rain going sideways or bouncing then wait it out in the van plotted up as it NEVER rains for 8 hours solid (normally that is) or if feeling cheeky do the ones I know are out at work otherwise just carry on till they say STOP you cant clean in this then just say ok see you next month ... very rarely happens now and tbh most customers don't care or even think that you cant clean in the rain.

I have 1 customer who wont allow cleaning in the slightest of rain but she is mad so I can live with that  :)

Only lost 1. ::)roll
I'm trying to convince my fella to do more for me ATM.

I think what I'm going to do is put the stuff up I don't like - by quite a wadge - and sugar it by saying I'll do them every-other-month, rather than monthly.

It's ok working in rain when your young but when you get older it's harder to shake off the cold you catch
