I'm not working at all now.
Got in the van this morning, gears a bit stiff, strange. 200 meters down the road could hardly shift gear at all, they were seized. Managed to force it into reverse and reverse all the way home, now waiting for my mechanic to come and have a look. Joy.
Not what you expect from a van with only 33000 on the clock.
Hate to say it but it sounds like your clutch has gone , either the thrust bearing has failed or the fingers on clutch cover have worn out , its what mine just did , i got 75k from mine though .

Managed to get out in the end. Left the van to warm up for 20 mins, gave it a test run and the gears were as smooth as butter again ???

Some of you lot are wimps.  Stayed out all day in the rain, stopped 1 hour early, only because i was low on water anyway, other than that all was good.  Waterproofs coat on, shorts on  ;D.

You know what i actually enjoyed working in the rain, it reminded me of when i was a kid playing outside in the rain getting drenched, except now im making money instead in the rain lol.

Hmmm, maybe it's just me, usually i dislike the rain, but today i was having fun tbh.  Even did a first clean before hometime!

The good thing about working in the rain, you work a whole lot faster. Just a quick agitation on windows n let the rain do the rinsing.  Its easy money and you get through a whole lot more work.

I always like to do my blocks of flats when it's ping down, more chance of everyone having their windows shut, makes the job alot easier.

We do commercial work what ever the weather providing it's safe to put the pole up , bit of rain doesn't matter as jobs have to be done on certain days regardless

Im suprised only 2 picked up on this post and not the ones i thought who would take  the bait either. Ha,  so i suppose i learnt something myself by posting such a post! which is obviously a joke post in relation to quality being questioned.

Ive bunked off to watch wonder woman with my teen daughter.
So yep an early start and later finish for me tomorrow. But i worked hard in rain yesterday so as not to fall behind knowing im taking today off.  Unless it hammers itself down for next couple of days, i should still be on schedule by friday ☺

Thursday is supposed to be bad as well.

But we've had it pretty good this year. I think I've only missed one day before this week so can't complain.
