Few years back now but..... I worked on the Thursday before  Good Friday and got a right *ollocking off an older customer for working the day before!
At the same time she was ticking me off she accepted a parcel from the postman and thanked him!

I've never closed for Easter, I'm not religious and I don't work for a bank. Nobody has ever mentioned it in 20+ years.

I'm hoping to be closed on 30/04 and 03/05 just after the pubs reopen up here.

Phew, got out of that one!
Emailed a few and most said leave it until after Easter.
Got so much work coming in which is good, summer this year will be manic, but just keep going and it will all get done.
Happy Easter everyone.

No!(unfortunately!)😅......I clean it every year about this time ready for spring and summer......to be fair shes already done the whole driveway this week already(which is big enough to fit 4 vehicles on)so the decking will only take a few hours...🙂👍

Hi Daz,
Wow how long have we been on this forum!
70 now and working 5 full days, got a younger partner and a 12 year old son so won’t be retiring.
Luckily that suits me, I enjoy running the business and it keeps me active.
Not for everyone but it’s good for me.
Bit of a disastrous pre life mate!!
Have fun and Happy drumming.

I don’t work Easter 🐣
It’s a religious holiday like Christmas 🎄

If I was working residential windows
I’d check to see if ok 👌 with customers

I’d imagine people will have family visiting  in the garden 🤔

It’s your business but for me working 🐣 Easter is like working on a Sunday

As for people having a pop the day before good Friday that’s muggy

It’s just someone that can’t really afford your service

Daz, I took a leaf out of your book and pushed on through some rainy days

I’m right on time and had Wednesday off
😁👍

Happy Easter everyone

I worked today, did one full clean gutters/facias etc and another house I did a gutter vac job.
To me Easter  Friday is just another ordinary Friday

Did a fairly large office block this morning, far easier to clean it out of hours. Off now until Tuesday.  8)
