I will be starting a silly o'clock (6am) tomorrow as I have a pub gutter clearing job to do.

Looks like that I might be getting a bit wet thought but the forcast for wind speed is 12 so still doable /emoticons/smile.png

 

[Tuffers]

Duck and dive

 

[Smurf]

Or just take the day off instead if it's very bad

 

[Smurf]

I did not plan that job very well as am out at 7pm tonight for a curry with me boys and one or two pints of the black stuff as you do. Needless to say that job tomorrow I'm charging extra though because the chap wants it done yesterday /emoticons/biggrin.png

Well my day finished at 8.30 this morming. Was a bloody good job too a the wind and rain is bad here now.

 

[BrightView]

same here, done by 9 /emoticons/smile.png though typically the sun came out as I drove home, but the wind is really picking up.

It looks like just Thurs & Fri for reasonable weather

Head down, crack on.

 

[Posh]

Yeah I was home by 9. Nothing done.

 

[SPCleaning]

I never even tried and tomorrow does not look too wonderful either.

After getting an emergency call to quote to clear some guttering and block downspouts I went back out as you do. Was much too windy for ladders but managed just about using a guttervac. I've got to pop back to clear one downspout by hand probably on Friday which is a pain in the **** to reach.

The good news is I mentioned about the state of the chaps large block paving driveway and in the end got that to do also the patio area too. /emoticons/smile.png

I have been out since 10 but going home now

Not ladder weather anymore

 

[Smurf]

The wind & rain has been mental around my way and has been no fun working in it.

I'm sitting in the van in Southampton docks. It's nice and sunny but howling wind

 

[Smurf]

Going to that quote earlier on I noticed these two numpties pressure washing a step pitched roof. The best bit I missed filming as was trying to be covert like the lad with the turbo lance (right) to stop him slipping off the roof doing that steep bit further down was just being held by a rope the other lad was holding on to stood up on the ridge...

It also did not make any sense to me why they did not get scaffolding erected to do that job as it's a very affluent area.

 

[Dave B]

Good old Southampton docks

Where my family is from

 

[windowsurfer]

No worky for me, pouring buckets and tomorrow pouring buckets with wind.
