Wind puts a stop to play

[GSS Window Cleaning]

First day ever today in 7 years I've had to go home due to the wind!!! Be careful out there folks

It's pretty bad in my neck of the woods too! Don't think I will be getting anything done today

Get out leafletting when it's like this....work the w/e if need be rather than struggle in this.

Got a solid day in today here in the southeast. Windy but workable. Tomorrow looks like it's gonna be a washout from about 11ish though.

I had to sack it off today

I had 8 first cleans booked in. I did 5 of them and they were a nightmare.

Now i never normally check my work that closely but as they were first cleans i wanted them to be a good job. Well after they had dried a lot of windows were a mess with bits blown up onto them. I had to text all the customers to warn them. Well i have two to re clean next week as they wernt happy with them. The other 3 ive had to put off till next week as its forcast wind and rain possibly snow tomorrow so cant risk it. Waste of time today would have been better off leafletting or something and lesson learnt, wind is much more of a problem than light rain imo.

Its turning into a nightmare month for me, vans knackered, skint from christmas, forked out for a canvasser and now cant get owt done with this bloody weather lol it better be a good spring

got all mine done but wasnt good fun at all hard to rinse with wind this bad

 

[adamangler]

I could rinse but it was horizontally

Worked every day so far full days.

Heavy showers mon & tue today bitterly cold.

Wfp in the wind is no good as you can't really control the rinse and all the dust in the air sticks to the glass when it's wet, rain any day for me, horses for courses

Thankfully got a full day in wind wasn't as bad were I was working but I did chose re-schedule my work for today in less exposed areas .

Good tip. Extend your poles in smaller lengths, this makes the pole more rigid and less whippy and less likely to snap :thumbsup:

When you're struggling to stand up, even though it's good advice, no matter what you do in 50mph winds it's too dangerous to work above 20'

Sacked tomorrow off already. Heavy rain from 10:00 and heavy snow from 15:00. The road up to our house is on a very steep hill. I might go sledging in the afternoon

What the weather people haven't said about the snow coming in the south east tomorrow evening, is whether its going to settle or not.

Because, obviously, this could bugger up friday

I worked the morning wind was up in the afternoon thought better of it and done some flyers instead

Went out leafleting and got the first email by the time I got in. "There's a few people in the street wanting a window cleaner", are there any sweeter words?!
