When you say you get lots of comments....I'm assuming you mean coz you worked in the rain or is it coz you are behind with your work and the custys comment about you being late?

Post by: TVCS on January 09, 2008, 08:23:13 pm: I will work in the rain but if it is really windy and rainy I stay at home as the wind can cause probs, wfp that is.
If customers complain about it, I point out that the rain wont clean off bird poo, spiders webs etc etc .

Exactly my thinking. The small amount of work I might lose is more than compensated for by the extra income.
