If its not raining its windy and if its not windy its raining, sometimes this job really gets you down.Come on weather sort yourself out.
Do any of you still clean domestic windows in the pouring rain?

Yes mate, the tornado went around 2 sides of the farm and took out a few outbuildings.All the lecky cables and phone cables and all that sort of stuff went down the swanny. She said it sounded like a train going through the place.

She was very scared but no injuries thank God.

Phew, just got back in - best days earnings I've ever had. I earnt enough to buy a new van I reckon, absolutely brilliant. Most of the houses I didn't even get my kit out - just put 'your windows were cleaned today' slips through all the doors. I put my rain guarantees in too (no one ever calls back) and I've caught up on three weeks work!
Best of all, I never used any pure water at all.  ;D
Off to the dole office now to pick up the rest of my hard earned cash.

The superlite 2 took some handling today, and that was only 5 sections. I did whatever I could reach with the Harris, what a difference, so much easier to use.
The superlite is a great pole, but in strong winds I prefer a thinner aluminium one.
It's looking bad for North Wales for the next couple of days, Rain and winds gusting to 50mph.
