Post by: easy clean on August 14, 2006, 12:35:40 pm: this may sound obvious but thought i'd ask, "what do you all do when it's raining?", been told that it's here all week, so i'm gonna be a week behind my work and no money for a week at home!!!!
was wondering what every else does when this happens?

many thanks

Never do windows in the rain as none of my customers would stand it and i always aim to please and as you no at the end of the day the customer is king.

Post by: thewindowcleaner1 on August 14, 2006, 09:25:38 pm: I work in light rain and always intend to carry on if it gets heavy or the day starts with heavy rain, but in fact if its to wet then I think sod it and have a rest day this means that I can work better when it stops and normally make the work up..

Tryed doing gutters and PVC in the rain just plain misrable, so I go home and upset the missus day
