Wet again
« on: August 26, 2010, 02:06:34 pm »
Does anyone really work all day in the rain? It's pouring here, I've done a bit and have more to do but its really coming down, heavy. Don't know how you Cornish boys make a living - it's always raining in Cornwall  :D

the weather isnt that bad in cornwall,  it can rain and be sunny 2 miles away as happened to me the other day,   liek hitman said you get use to what custy want, a lot dont mind   

light rain is ok, heavy rain like yesterday is a no no,

Don't work if it's absolutely pouring or if customer asks us not to. One peed me off yesterday though because we text to say he was coming, he says no probs, we turn up and the wife says can you leave it because it might rain. If she does it again she's going to be charged for our time  :)

I tend to do conny roofs and gutter in heavy ish rain.  Had to draw the line yesterday though.  I did some, but that was serious rain.

I got back about an hour ago Tom, from when I spoke to you earlier, not stopped raining all day, we looked like drowned rats, but missed 3 houses from target  :(
