whats wrong with working in it
its Friday, its nearly Christmas so i'm in a good mood! ;D
-
you can't work in it when the snow is lying on the ground as the water will freeze in the hose . anyhow its not safe so gonna break me arm on my sledge ;D
-
its snow in the northeast , i would say its not worth the hassels of frezzing hoses etc plus the customers complaints

PLEASE MOTHER NATURE MAKE IT RAIN!! ;D
p.s no ladder work that would be madness
-
I've got a shop to do later but think I will take the rest of the day off. Loads to do anyway. Still got some of the prezzies to buy and need to give my flat a clean and tidy up.

I'm calling it of for defo. Am about a week behind shedule now so im sure a few more days won't go a miss. Did want to get all me work done for crimbo but fat chance of that now. :(
-

I came on here expecting you to be saying you where working in it etc and im actually gob smacked that your not playing scrooge and making your staff work today, unless its just you thats off ;D I think youve got to be desperate to work in this and look like a complete plonker, this is the reason I keep a minimum of a months takings in the bank so I can have days off like this, ;D
-
the way weather forecast is looking for next 3 to 5 days we may be writing some days off , more money lost
-
not going to bother today shame i was a day in front!
-
If it gets any worse around here I wont be able to drive, I only have a ford escort van.
Matt
-
i had a whacking great day lined up, but it was an hours drive away from home, not driving that distance in this, will take 3 hours knowing what uk drivers are like!!
plus, i have to say, i would feel a bit mercenary cleaning windows on a day like today. chasing the £££.
**edited to ad**
mrs is away in ireland today, due back this afternoon, and Lutons flights are suspended.....so may have my xmas do! yeeeeeha!!
-
there is not much snow up here in manchester.its -1 though!i think the water will freeze on the glass before ive squeegyed it off!just a light dusting of snow but plenty of ice!does putting screenwash in bucket stop it freezing?im undecided.im a week behind if i write the week off.maybe get the rest of my pressies wrapped/clean flat and get out early tommorrow and finish my xmas shopping!start fresh on monday and try and get 3 good days in before 11 days xmas break! ;D ;D.re-schedule for monday i think.ive got quite a bit of money to chase up tonight.so thats my plan! ;D
best wishes

In my experience the water won't freeze in the hose. As long as you keep the water pumping as much as you can. Keep it flowing and it won't freeze, turn it off and it might. Oh and bring some road salt with you to chuck a bit down outside risk areas.
I'm late so I'm off! Brrrrr
-
The forcast looks f***ed in Yorkshire till at least tuesday :'(
-
Im gonna go out and charge 40 quid to clear old gits drives ;D
-
We've just knocked it on the head here, water is freezing on windows and I've just witnessed two slow speed crashes and a good few cars sliding round corners, main roads are clear but the side roads are treacherous.
My carpet cleaning lads are away into Wooler (Cheviot Hill country) today doing three jobs, one of which is a very big one, may see them back here by Tuesday after it thaws out!!
-
sorry to up set you lads. its sunny with blue skies, where i am, its a bit cold, but nothing unusual
-
it's really no point going out today.roads are blocked and a lot of car crash.it may cost more if u go out today.maybe even if u have a 4x4 but even so ...i couldn't get my van out of the drive so i think i'll what i can till xmas and rest of them let them till afer new year

so what are u still doing here? :-X

pWhy not just put isopropanol in the water ;D
Because unless you put 20/ 30 Percentit will freeze when the hose hits the floor Fact.

I'll be using a back pack, save all hassle of hoses on the floor.

got to go bank and it doesnt open till 10 its open 10 - 2 mon, wed , fri, i live in cornwall, we are meant to be getting the snow to moz, besides i have just got up

thick snow here
my road is a dead end on a hill, cars parked either side and single file traffic.
Have spent morning so far watching people try to 3 point turn their cars around (well more like 15 point !) because they were facing uphill doh ! sliding and wheel spinning all over the place :D
I had the forsight to be facing downhill with my wheels turned into the road and enough space in front of me to drive out, well thats the plan ;D
I'd probably have stayed home any other day but its my last working day before xmas and I've a big job on that I've already been paid for, bring it on, should be fun :D ;)
-
no one got any nice photos to make me all jealous?!
-
Here is my road this morning and a pic of the back of our house.
-
and some more from last night
-
so purdy!! proper snow!
-
it has snowed here
-
I think that you need it be very cautious in cold weather.
Last year I slipped on an icy road (the icy road was may doing) while getting out of the rear of the van and not only landed on my back on the road but also hit my head on the rear step in the process. It left me rather shook up and dazed. Soon afterward Natasha Richardson died as a result of head injuries caused by a fall skiing, so I was lucky.
Wont make that mistake again.

Sorry to go of topic, Matt i'm thinking of an escort van with 350ltr tank, do you find it ok to drive carrying that much water? I've had an escort before and just carrying 4 25ltr containers of water seemed to affect the performance quite badly. Admittedly that van was a bit of a banger
-
what naffs me off is they keep saying snow in the east ,well we got 2 inch in the west and its been minus 3 all day ,so i stopped off
-
Minus 6 yesterday, minus 8 today, had to re book work for next week one of which is our biggest domestic custy. Forcast for next week is plus 1, so will have to work right up to Christmas. :( Only got about 4 inches of snow though, so hope it's gone next week.

I find it ok, its a little sluggish going up the hill, if you have the turbo version it would be better.
