Ended up gettin a good days work cleaned.cold wind but not gale force!got a few xmas tips and there was a fistful of cheques waiting for me when I got home.happy days!  .

and I tempted fete by posting to this posting as got what I thought was my first call back for ages and ages ... twas a job I did Saturday in rain and wind ... got phone call  at lunchtime lady saying windows looked awful so went back this afternoon and redid em but was down to local cement factory having another "accidental" chimney emission .... whole area caked in white powder.

Hang on - i'll pop out and have a route around the skip..... 

last week i had to stop ( first & only time ) due to windy conditions - for those i cleaned i left a note to call incase of problems ( but all seems ok ) - we have not had much rain here for ages and the ground is dry and dusty - had the ground been wet the wind would be
less of an issue

I'm reading a book at the moment called 101 Business Ideas ... One says Just keep going till someone tells you to stop.

Think u maybe thinking too much and I don't mean any disrespect when I say that.

Just clean em and stop worrying .. Windy by me but everyone happy to see me.

losing a little income?last week was the worst week this year for wind!!im certainly not going to take the rest of the week off this week as well!!

Looking at the bigger picture it is only a little income, compared to the rest of the years income

I'm not saying anyone is wrong in "trying" to clean in bad conditions, but in all honesty if you haven't made good money throughout the rest of the year (and enough to get you through tough weather times) then something is wrong.


Note to all....when I say you, I mean general you, not personal you

Helen, do you honestly stop working if it is windy ? 

We always work in wind and rain, one thing that makes this workable is because I guarentee all the work thats done, so if they are not happy they get a re clean free, now I would rather go back and re clean a few houses than lose days of work sat looking out of a window , I did that for too many years with the rain when trad certainly not doing it with wind, it seems if an excuse not to work can be found everyone jumps on it like it is a good idea. I know it is each to there own, but some of us will carry on earning whislt others just watch I guess
