Gales tomorrow, anyone working?

2 fascia jobs for me!

Not down the best part of the country it’s not 🤣 Sunny but windy they reckon. 👍
-
Should be a record day for me.
-
Day off for me . Got my lads working together. So I am off to the pub , then another pub , then a pub that serves food , then another pub , and I might even call at the pub on the way home .

I never trust the forecast these days.
Originally it was terrible. But actually now, it’s a bit wet, bit breezy, but nothing too bad. Gonna just have a later start and get my work finished for the week.
If only we could invent an accurate weather forecast. This time next year Rodney.

Will probably just do an easy £500 today.

I have these types of days from time to time either because of weather or mopping up scraps.
Its funny because just 5 years ago when i started £100 a day was a dream, 500 a week! rolling in dough :D now £100 in a day feels like poverty lol how perception changes.

we all have days like these......never ever be unhappy about it.......its better than not going out at all and earning nothing..... ;)

The wind was blowing quite hard in Bournemouth.
I'm sure the wind blew my pole next door and I accidentally cleaned some of their windows too.
I should have put some slips through... ;D

Not necessarily. When you have kids/family at home, hobbies, things to do etc. Have plenty of money in the bank already, work coming out your ears... then working in crap weather for 100 quid is far from the best way to spend your day. It all depends how you value your time, priorities etc. For me, on days where there's a reasonable chance of having the kind of outcome described above, I have far more valuable ways in which to spend it.👍

Same. Done £100 and jacked it off about 10:30, soaked to the bone, sun came out around midday which is standard.
-
Makes me feel a bit better
I suppose £100 better then nothing ;D
-
Hey I’m the winner!! £144 😀
-
Just back from the pub. 🙃
-
get out on your bike

The thing is I've time for hobbies etc every day of the week even when working....if I earn £100 I've still got 22 hours left in the day for hobbies/chill time/sleep...

Nice out there today lads 😳
Anyone on regular window cleaning today? Glad I shifted my work around now tbh.
-
I took Daz’s advice. I’ve been stood outside for an hour and fifty five minutes now. Doesn’t work, going back inside now and getting dry pyjamas.
-
I had some fascias booked in but think I’m gonna give it a miss. Wednesdays dry so a long day tomorrow on Windows, Thursday rain but not as bad as today and Friday dryish
-
Day off, take van for m.o.t instead.
Trying to catch up is just pointless, I give in.

Get two pairs of Gore Tex pyjamas. When one pair gets too wet, dry them on the heated seats and put the other pair on.

I'm glad i was doing insides today...
I have to say though that with all the rain and wind we had this morning the outside windows still looked good that I cleaned yesterday, even the customer couldn't believe how clean they were still.
