Got stuck today  >:(  >:(

I'd forgotten the job was down a cul-de-sac which sloped downhill from the top road.  As I drove down I suddenly thought "s**t I'm not going to get back up this slope!".  Thought I might as well get the job done and sort it afterwards...

Borrowed the custy's shovel and spent about 90 mins digging myself two tracks in the ice.  Dropped back and hammered it up my 15 yard runway, dropped into second and got up the rest of the 100 yard hill rally-style :D  Wheels spinning like mad chucking the snow out behind me ;D

Don't want to do that again, better things to do than provide a free road clearing service for the neighbours, hope my neighbour nudgers get me some work from them (after the ice has gone!).

Roll on spring.

got really stuck in the snow today.

decided to put off my carpet jobs this week so spent the day in the workshop doing a few restor jobs on some leather furniture. all goin well workshop heater running flat out was very pleasant no need for even a jumper. Lovely i though this is the life.

Then heard a a bit of a weird sound coming from the roof heat from heater had made all the snow slide down the roof creating a 2ft drift right by the door door stuck so was directing the mrs from my chair on how to shovel the snow .

Mind you i was nice and warm whilst she dug me out .

Ps when i got out wish i had stayed put she was not best pleased

Snowed in again today and im starting to get totaly P1ssed off with it. Had to cancel more jobs and even declined a lucrative flood job.
This has got to be the worst Jan on record.

I had a nice job out at the edge of the sticks not far from where I live and I still couldn't get there, still getting a few calls and they want to book a date I'm just booking them for next week and we'll see.

Last Jan I had a record month for the time of year this year could be the worst.

Went to a small flood job. Fought through all the slush etc. Got set up only to find the flood had tripped the electrics and I couldn't turn my machine on. Had to pack up and go home. Still trying to work out how to charge a "call-out" fee.

And before all you TM'ers laugh because I have a porty...can I just point out one thing.......





You can't run blowers and de-humidifyers off a TM-you still need electricity for them. ;) ;)
