Who is taking on the storm over the next 2 days? I can't be doing with fighting the pole in strong winds
-
Yep just crack on until it's impossible.
Already had 2 ways ting to skip today
-
Me neither, I think the rain is to settle down about 10 so maybe have a late start today
-
Only got 3 days to do this week, taking today and tomorrow off and doing thurs,fri,sat instead.
Today doesnt look too bad, raining till midday and then the wind isnt supposed to pick till later. If i clean any windows today they'll be filthy again in the morning though.

One off fascia clean later this morning, apartment block dinner time and some rural detached later.
Tomorrow I'll do a bit in the afternoon when rain eases off.

Always like it when windows get dirty straight away cos they need me to clean them again

Got two commercials and half a dozen domestics. So £250 for an hours work. Should be able to squeeze that in somewhere. I’ve got all my slips written out ready and had my breakfast last night to save time whilst making my flask. Happy days!

;D quality big red cock, are you drumming tonight?
-
I dont mind wORking in the rain ::)roll
So comfy clothes underneath the water proofs as no one will see them. So its a day off from wearing the usual work uniform. Cosy jumper then rain coat and away I go.
Obviously if it gets ridiculous to work in or winds pick up, then im more than happy to come back home but atleast I know ive earnt that day rather than sack it off

I just tell them that I'm afraid I'm not that good. If I was I wouldn't be here; I'd be making it rain in the Outback.

When i see my customers cut the grass or wash their car, I just shout over; "your gonna make it rain now!" They dont see the funny side and hopefully ive made a small point to them. ;D

Don't forget to fit in your 1/2 hour lunch break in your heated seat to keep your rse warm.

My daughter and I were out this morning. Sunny one minute, hammering it down the next, then the winds joined in. Had to give it up in the end, but the way we looked at it is there's always tomorrow.

Looking on Facebook and it seems like everyone is having days off lol
I've worked all week, some heavy rain some heavy wind and I will battle on tomorrow and Friday as well.
I used to be like that but you just can't run a regular reliable business or earn any decent money by having a day or week off everytime bad weather is forecast.
I've had 2 customers wanting to skip so far this week due to weather ...that's fine, few less to do then great. Of anyone else want to skip then I understand and it's no problem, if I do 95% of my normal workload this week it will have been a great week considering the weather.
Ok so you risk a few complaints, but id rather have 2-3 complaints and work all week than do nothing and have none. (Not had any yet btw)
What I've learned is to rather than be scared of what a custy might think or what the bad weather might do to the glass simply get loads of work, keep it coming in and keep churning through it, if anyone wants to cancel or has a problem that you clean in all weathers dump and onto the next.

ive had this attitude for many years now adam and it works......as long as i hit between £800-£1200 per week im happy......itll probably be around £950 by friday afternoon.....not bad for a crappy weather week....
years ago id struggle and sack a few days off(i wouldnt work in this strong wind trad!)and be lucky to have earnt £250-£300 for the whole week.....and half of that would go on drinking down the pub! ::)roll ;D....not a good way to live(or run a business!)...

You're right as usual Daz
Loads of startups in my area at the mo, see whether they're still around this time next year.
My bin cleaner was looking at getting into window cleaning for a while, he bought a round recently, a bad one with terrible prices, he spotted my son out working this week and offered it to him, which he politely refused.

Because of Gareth gates blowing shut have been a problem for me.
Not all but especially facing south gates. I decided to bale out and go home alone.
You can't call a storm Gareth :(.

It is if you don't spend half of it in the pub like you did ? You can literally double your income based on what you said by not spending half your cash in the pub..............................
