Bad Week So Far!

[mrtaytay]

Its the worst part of this job....the unpredictable weather!. I got one big house done on Monday then got rained off. Got rained off all yesterday but managed to do some internal windows at one house. Just had to cancel a big house today (60 quid job) because of the rain and look pretty rained off for the rest of the day.

Takings so far this week:: 48 quid!!

+1 it's absolutely throwing it down here but forecast is to brighten up so I'm hopeful. So is my mum she's on the list today and no'one likes to let their mum down lol.

yer know the feeling, but at least you can spendt he day at home chasing leads, contacted companies etc! so in away its not a lost day!

 

[mrtaytay]

nope...always something to do....bookwork...even e bay to make up for lost cash!!

I can never settle though...like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for the weather to get better. Dont know how many times in a day I refesh the bbc weather site!!

i suppose the secret is to have a little side line for when you are rained off.

yer thats true, my company also does other property maintenance work too, so can get a lot of indoor jobs too! but i can make more money window cleaning than doing them tho!

 

[mrtaytay]

I have a few internal jobs that sometimes keep me going on days like this. Nipping out to do someones gutters later. It wont make for a profitable day, but at least I get them out of the way to make more time for the windows.

I need the perfect e bay product to sell

I dont think you can do a proper job when its piling it down. Not sure how you can walk away from the windows knowing they are streak free. The residential customers certainly mind if their windows are cleaned when its raining. A bit of light rain or drizzle is ok...but its a no no when the rain is heavy.

 

[harunh]

It rains heavy a lot in the uk winter so if we dont work in the rain we may aswell pack it in, its most likely gona rain after its been cleaned anyway

 

[CNS-southwest]

Light rain is fine, heavy rain is not.

At the end of the day we gota work for a living, the windows will only have streaks if you don't wipe down the frames, the dirt comes from these.

Otherwise try Gould dry streak free.

I know this for a fact as I tested it on my dads.

I k ow some people think rain is dirty, well I live on a flight path so there is probably fuel in the rain etc, but after it rains they still dry streak and spot free for at least 2 weeks after the clean.
