Did 4 £20 houses, im happy, did some downs by hand ie doors and pathways.

Water was freezing quick on windows, i had water tonking out so hopefully they got a good rinse, and id got boiling water for trad and that was still freezing. Just seen that some of you put screenwash in for trad to stop freezing...what a good idea.

[JoeMax]

I'm seriously impressed!

How long were you out there? Wrapped up warm I take it!

[LWC]

I dont feel cold too bad mate, just wore me normal stuff, (not shorts  ) Jeans tshirt and jacket. Did wear gloves tho.

I see someone is just doing downs trad, this might be the way to go this xmas

Well your nearly correct. The Mpemba Effect can in cirtain circumstances mean that hot water freezes quicker than cold but it is only under very strict circumstances.

As for using water from a water butt, think of the algea!

Talk to Terry Tibbs Barry, What's the secret ingredients of your magic water? Talk to me 

[Londoner]

I went out and got a full (ish) day done. It was cold though, that wind is bitter

[G Griffin]

If I remember rightly from last winter, Barry`s secret is adding screenwash to his water barrels.
It must be good screenwash to work down to -30 though. And don`t forget he keeps his water barrels in a boiler room overnight.

yes that does help I did that last year to good effect, never added anything to the water though

[Jonathan Spencer]

Yep I went out from 9.30 and finished just as it went dark.  Did not earn as much as I  would normally do, mainly due to customers thinking they are kind hearted and asking me in for a warm.  I used hottish water and only froze once on a ver exposed window.  

[LWC]

Surely you cant add screen wash to water tho? ? ?

Got me thinking, Might be worth an experiment on my windows tomorrow!!

[clearlyclean]

spray some screen wash on a window and watch it dry 

[supernova77]

I went out today... Started at 10am and finished about 3pm... Not a full days money, but better than nothing!

It's hard getting started again after stopping for 15 minutes for lunch, I think I'm going to skip lunch in this weather and just work through.

PS. Joka Polar gloves are awesome!
