Post by: Ian Lancaster on November 03, 2009, 03:28:41 pm: Whenever I book a new job, I always tell them we work in all conditions, and that regardless of the weather we guarantee the results will be perfect, or we will come back and do them again.

This covers us to work in bad weather if we want to - by choice we don't stand out getting soaked, but the decision is ours, not the custies.

I was on schedule with my my work yesterday until about 3pm when the heavens opened big time and so today I shower-dodged and did that £40 worth of work from yesterday. Then I did some paperwork/banking and am scheduled for a full day tomorrow which I will do unless it is really squally/heavy stuff.

Post by: ftp on November 03, 2009, 03:57:09 pm: Well, I had a choice of trying to clean windows in a downpour and risk being turned away or do a gutter clean with my vac - guaranteed money and no moaning customers. ;D

Post by: pingu on November 03, 2009, 04:14:05 pm: I do not work in rain that bounces off the road but will work in normal rain if there is such a thing...

I work to a planned 8 weekly cycle and I will reschedule work when required but I like to earn my target money for the week. WFP.

Cheers
Dave

Title: Re: Do you work in the rain?
Post by: Tosh on November 03, 2009, 05:24:58 pm: I had quite a good day, cleaning windows, despite the rain. I took a book and my lunch and just 'sat it out' and worked inbetween downpours; though I worked when the rain was light.

No-one complained and overall it was an enjoyable day, though I didn't make as much as I normally would, the amount was still okay.
