Wow, you did too! And still no good? Seems in this weather its a case of heating the van and then hoping!

Travelled 11 miles, first job sunny at front and son was using tricoflex hose, he was doing fine, I had microbore and no joy for me at the back, out of the sun.
Son came round the back and his hose froze up as well.
Drove home and thawed hoses out, had some dinner and went back out.
Did a £20.00 house, both hoses fine, and then drove to another 2 houses and microbore had frozen again, but tricoflex was ok.
So my conclusion is, use the tricoflex hoses on the cold days.
Will have to carry a spare hosereel with tricoflex on !!
-
got in car and it was -6 went back to bed :D :D :D
I got in car -9 !
Got van stuck again...cant get my van to house to thaw it out
I woudnt work in this weather anyway, no chance am i leaving water around to freeze.
-
Tried to stop my mrs doing the shops trad -8 @ 8am this morning but she is unstopable finished at 11.30 having done her duty, proud of her especially as she is 3 years into remission.
I just finished the accounts and sent them off at 11.30, am I the last ?
-
I gotta convey roof to quote up tomorrow, so im expecting to do it there and then - so that should be a fun cold hour. Then off to try and get some of the usual done. Seeing as its -3 atm, it could be a difficult first day back.
Reminds me, better go and check the pump... Van is usually ok as under the car port no harm in wrapping some lagging round the pump thou just encase.
No Jeff, im seeing the accountant next week, you wont be the last by far!

It's been cold up here the past couple of days but not cold enough to stop us working, had two teams out, though admittedly one was working with a Thermopure system.
As for me, there's three of us inside until Wednesday cleaning the carpets and seating in a theatre ;D
