im ready.flask and lunch sorted.filled  the van to the brim with pure.........and its 60 mph gusts!! ::) ::)

ive only managed to work tuesday and wednesday with the bad weather so could do with getting another day in!ive got a few country houses in the middle of nowhere that i re scheduled for today as well as a few clusters of houses.im seriously thinking of sacking it off until monday as ive got family commitments tommorrow!

ive worked in strong winds with ladders in the past but wfp?how do the windows come up with these gusts?

its the leaving them wet with the crap being blown about im concerned about.with the droplets of water mixing with the dust resulting in spotting when dried.

I cleaned four customers houses yesterday, and my own around 3pm. Looking at them this morning is not good, they are pretty filthy, worse than just spotting. I will have to check the ones from yesterday and if they are bad, will not do any in the high winds again!
