Hot Headed.
« on: December 18, 2007, 04:43:22 pm »
I`ve had enough with this cold weather,don`t get me wrong it`s not the weather as such it`s the fact that hoses just don`t like the cold,in the new year i`m going hot for deffo no more worries on cold mornings.I reckon i was 1-1.5 hrs behind today because of the cold,that in itself would have paid for months of gas or deisel to run it.

Glad to hear it Alex.

My motor was in for a full service today so didn't have the use of it. However my work today was all on my doorstep so just came home for my water when I needed it. Had a pretty good day too.

Due to the pole hose getting kinked and stiff i bought one of those "hose tidy" things from freedom the other day.
Brilliant!!
No more kinked hose. The tidy thing is a bonus too, but i could of lived with that.

Is it just me, but I always seem to work about 10% more quickly in the cold than when it's warmer.

I tend to work faster and the custys don't want to chat as much, but I'm more tired out at the end of the day.

Does anyone know if microbore is more likely to freeze up compared to regular hose?
