Blowing a gale out there today...Who's braving it? ;D
-
I need to work but it doesnt sound good. Think the van might blow away!
-
Might get 50 houses done today. If i stand in middle of street, flow turned up and let the wind splash it on all the windows.......my new splash n dash routine
;D ;D
-

Look awfull but dressed for the cold and ready to tackle the first house of day in high winds.......glad its your straight forward houses today n not too high
-
Is that an 18” brush you’ve got on there?
-
Think its the angle of the shot.
Its about 14/15" an 18" is a fraction too big on my work.
-
Not impressed so far.
8 first cleans booked in and onto my third and they are a nightmare. Yes they look ok but on checking half the house has lods of bits blown back on it. Had to blade a lot of it off.
Think I'm going to have to re schedule them for next week forcast snow tomorrow.
What a start to the year van broke down now can get owt done.
-
Still sat on my harris playing online poker.....far too windy here.
-
Van doors slammed shut on my head twice and been hit with an empty recycling box. Ive had enough now and calling it a day.
-
Stop & bat warning light came on the dash yesterday evening so my van is off the road for now.

Ignore the lights you'll be fine...Just ask Daz :-X

You can't keep the windows clean for a month after you've cleaned them , as soon as you clean them , there is dust in the air all year round and it's going to stick to the windows.
The main thing is to keep on top of your schedule, people are waiting to get they're windows cleaned after Christmas- don't let them down! Just crack on , if you get any complaints, then simply go back and clean again for free

I don't think daz will be ignoring warning lights in future somehow. Might have been an easy fix instead of having all the hassle and expense of replacing a seized up engine. Was a very expensive lesson learned. ::)roll

Used my Extreme at full 47ft today. Luckily the wind was directly behind me for the fronts and I was in the lee of the building for the backs.
Old Victorian houses in Clifton, Bristol - fourth floor work.
-
Did the ones that left money out or gates unlocked.
Watched allsorts fly about. 1 guy drove from another street asking whose trampoline hit his house

dont give up!keep trying to do a bit every day even if its only 3 hours work.
1.youll feel better for it.
2.you re chipping away at your workload slowly.
3.even at half steam your earning money thatll pay your normal daily/weekly bills.
4.extra rest/leisure time is welcome at this time of year with the awful weather! ;D
5.all things will pass(including bad weather and van problems!)
best wishes mate.

I usually work through most weather , but the wind was waking me up all night with things flying around in the garden banging into the fence panels, I've txt everyone and cancelled.
Looks like I'm going shopping with the Mrs instead ;D
-

why cant you start later than 10am?

I learnt my lesson yesterday venturing out in winds. I was choosing what streets to work on, as some areas are built up areas acting like wind breakers. Cleaning windows was ok, wind not really effected technique. However i was dodging flying objects and recycling boxes and van doors slamming on me etc. So its a later start for me today when winds die down.
My mrs wants to go out shopping as well, but i always hate spending on days where i should be earning :'(

I've worked all week until today...
Just couldn't be arsed today... wind woke me up at 3am and only started back monday after a 2 week xmas break..My motivation is low at the moment :(

Ditto, i shud have started properly last week. So i should be half way through my work. Whereas im not through my first quarter of my round. I enjoyed having some time of work but ive lost my mojo for returning back to work at the moment. Think its the january blues

Went out this morn, blowing a gale so decided no wfp work. Started trading off a few jobs but it's murder, spray goes all over the windows just as u getting down to the bottom frames.
Jobs in the middle of a row of buildings are ok, jobs on corners are a nightmare with the wind, decided to call it off for a few hrs
Am tempted to go do a small pressure washing job, but I think I will catch up on some gold rush I recorded on discovery chanel
-
It's about as bad as it can get today. Snow and ice on the ground, blowing a gale and freezing cold.
Done 1 job and went home. Second day off this week because of the weather.
Sorted out the schedule over Xmas to nice and neat days, it's now buggered already!
Swings and roundabouts in this job, earnt fck all this week but have a couple of beast weeks lined up for the end of the month so it all evens out.
-
Scorchio here today! Sun's out blue skies. Just done a shed load of £50 jobs and stopped for lunch. One more sarnie then it's full speed ahead!

i think we all suffer this esp in january.the best thing i find is to just go out and do half days.ive been doing this all week and ill be working today too(3 hours work locally).ive still earned £800+ this week and thats working from my car with a backpack and a few barrels. ::)roll ;D
ive got a call back to deal with on monday.first one in ages.i think its because id skimped on water(£40 job too).shes a good customer so ill go back and reclean all her windows.ruddy backpacks! ::)roll

Gonna be an expensive month for you Dazmond what with your four grand tax bill being due in the next fortnight too! Feel sorry for you.
-
£800 on half days on a bad week and your messing about with 2nd hand vans and new engines.

I suppose regardless of a persons income, we all have different financial responsibilities.
