I've just got back, me and the mrs have been soaked several times.  All new customers and no one moaned about the rain.  Had a gutter clean to do as well and the customer was well chuffed with it.  I picked up another new one and possibly a school, all in the rain. 

When I got back home though, I found that my ladders hadn't been clamped on properly and were a bit wonky, I hadn't used them at all and was amazed we didn't get pulled over as they must have been hanging over in the road.  Woops. :o

Cancelled my first 3 jobs, did the 4th and earned the princely sum of £23,  cancelled the last 3.  Booked the cancelled ones in for next week and hoping that the weather improves by then...if not they'll be done in the new year.

Just simply refuse to work in monsoon conditions...roll on the summer!!

I only managed to get £50 done and then my Varistream Controller packed in  :'(

The on/off button is stuck in the off position... I've taken it all apart and its now soaking in WD40.

Wet and very windy this morning but worked all day today.
Been using my Omnipole hot water unit on a new clean I picked up today. Sailed through the new clean (easy-peasy) in a fraction of the time as water was at a constant 60 degrees Celsius. I'm well impressed with the heater unit, so Keith of Omnipole if you're reading this, cheers for the installation lasrt week :)
