complete wash out today wind too strong and rain too heavy to get any thing done. i'm in pontypool south wales suppose to be like this for next 48hrs. whats it like in other parts of the country?

Wet here at the mo.
Its meant to become more intermittent into the morning.
Where you are should be broken cloud by about 9am. If the forecasters are right.
I have quite a good inside to do today, so I'll get that done and play it by ear after, probably do something, might just be some where I know they'll be out at the time, so long as its not too wet out there.

I've just got back, me and the mrs have been soaked several times. All new customers and no one moaned about the rain. Had a gutter clean to do as well and the customer was well chuffed with it. I picked up another new one and possibly a school, all in the rain.
When I got back home though, I found that my ladders hadn't been clamped on properly and were a bit wonky, I hadn't used them at all and was amazed we didn't get pulled over as they must have been hanging over in the road. Woops. :o

Cancelled my first 3 jobs, did the 4th and earned the princely sum of £23, cancelled the last 3. Booked the cancelled ones in for next week and hoping that the weather improves by then...if not they'll be done in the new year.
Just simply refuse to work in monsoon conditions...roll on the summer!!

Wet and very windy this morning but worked all day today.
Been using my Omnipole hot water unit on a new clean I picked up today. Sailed through the new clean (easy-peasy) in a fraction of the time as water was at a constant 60 degrees Celsius. I'm well impressed with the heater unit, so Keith of Omnipole if you're reading this, cheers for the installation lasrt week :)
