I don't mean to sound like I'm having a go Daz, but you are actually off your trolley if you're considering going out and expecting it to be a success. Of course you might think it's a challenge and you won't be beaten by adverse weather conditions. However you might just not think as well I guess.

[Martin-Swinscoe]

it was -8 here in Bridgnorth about an hour ago, just checked again and now it's -9 its getting colder brrrrrrrrr

[GB Window Cleaning]

@ matt. like ive said before in cold contrys they except these temps as working conditions! we dont!
which is fair enough because simply we usually dont have to.

But its possible to work down to -20 using methol alchahol   shocking isn't it!

[dave.e]

-12.5 in west midlands at the mo and no gritters have been out because the salt won;t work if its more than -6

It's possible to drive at 120 down the motorway, just because it can be done doesn't ran it should be done, is safe to do or is even remotely sensible to do.

Does that keep you warm if you drink it?

[Bobs Window Cleaning]

Its madness to go out working in this weather.

I cannot believe people go out when we are being told to stay home and safe. What about if your van breaks down or you slide into a ditch or worse.

 Surely we earn enough money in the summer to help with winter?

As for using a pole on upstairs window Will take much much longer with very poor results. Even when we trad downstairs windows, there are sometimes marks or lines left which get redone. Using a scrim or micro cloth will leave smears.

Remember guys.....the perfect clean is the clean where you finish using only a blade without the need to wipe the edge of the glass....again something you cant do with a pole.

no offence taken matt!i did 3 afternoons in freezing temperatures(3 hours a day)the other week and made £200.not a great deal but it moved me on to my next work which i was able to wfp as the temp rose a few days later.

i will be "off my trolley"as ill be leaving it at home and just going out with a 25L BARREL of warm water(for bucket)screenwash/squeegee off and my extension pole with vice versa.

im off to try and do my own windows.if they freeze up with screenwash i will write the day off and try tommorrow.

the forecast is more of the same all week and more snow on thurs/friday meaning if i do write the week off ill be having at least 3 weeks off due to xmas and my new york trip with more bad weather forecast in january!!

what do you suggest?have a month off and spend all my emergency funds up?

ill do my damnest to not dip into it too much!!

[DMG Window Cleaning]

Daz

Which screenwash do you use? How much do you put in your bucket?

Im hoping to get out tomorrow but if the ground is too slippy it will be bottoms only. I just want to clean as many as possible before the snow comes next week and get all my customers up to date

When are you going to new york?

Danny
