Title: Wind & wfp
Post by: chris@c.m.s on May 11, 2009, 06:48:30 am

Was hoping to get a good day's domestic done today with the rest of the week looking bad  ::) but Its blowing about 15mph rising to 29mph by 1pm, what's the strongest wind you guys clean in and get away with ?
usually if its much above 15 I stay at home but I need to crack on today.

i find it depends on the house more than the wind speed. i just make sure i do top windows in same direction as wind.no third storey work though if its really bad.

I find the wind makes more differnce to how the windows turn out than rain. At times you can get dirt and dust settling on wet glass whilst drying. Noticed this when i have gone collecting later on the evening.

same for me
I worry not so much about the quality of the work due to the wind but more the safety aspect, days like this I have to tweak my round and choose quieter sheltered streets and do mainly ground and first floors.

I wont clean at 60ft in more than 30mph winds anymore than that and its to hard to control the pole, first floor ive still cleaned in winds of 60mph but that was a nightmare

Get on with it you big girl; just think of it as a free work out for your arms, shoulders, back and legs. If it's windy all week you'll look great in your holiday snaps  ;D ;D ;D
