Benefits of snow ice and sub zero.
« on: December 21, 2010, 08:05:36 pm »
As the title says really. What are yours. Here's a couple to get you started.

My hoses haven't been this clean since I put new ones on. Also they are a little easier to reel in especially in the ice.

Burning off more energy so should be loosing some weight. (I hope)

Sleep well at the end of the day.

I got one of my mates to fit one, he's made up with it. I just couldn't bring myself to go out in these sub temps. We ordered a L5 from ebay (America) for Gary, not as a cure for these prolonged minus temps but just as some thing to get you over the odd cold day and maybe to make first cleans easier and cony roofs easier .
 The condensation inside my porch has frozen so i'm hard pushed to get the impetus to go cleaning peoples externals!!

Another benefit is it keeps the half-hearted from trying to become window cleaners leaving all the more work for us reliable guys!
It's a game of three halves!

I was going to say that, it roots out the light weights and keeps the numbers down.. ;)
if it is dirty it is fair game

Loads of time off....now taking a rest before the Christmas with the out-laws and then a short rest before our holidays....

I am kind of getting used to these long winter breaks...I might make them a permanent part of my working year...

My new beard is coming on a treat...it fits well with the Grizzly Adam theme with the cabin fever kicking in.

Put money away in the year and these bad times are not so bad...
The more I know the less I know I know ...

Found another one today, frozen dogs terd.

As regards working in subzero conditions I think it's important to work if you can.  It shows the customer you take your job seriously, if they think you are not committed then they won't be either.  If you really can't work then fair enough most people would understand.

I reached my cut of point on Monday at -10 and doing a factory the water froze instantly but even then a drop of IPA might have done the trick.
