Managed to do quite a bit of work today on my own, very pleased. Shows that with a little preparation, you can still do quite a bit. Went out to the van at 9, -3, to fire up the hotwash to get some water through the hose reel, only to find that my float valve/solenoid somehow didn't shut off until the tank just over flowed, little puddle in van, and even though fan heater was in the van all night, frozen over.So only got out at 9:45, and got back in at 16:55. About 1:45 hours total worth of travel time today, so nothing record breaking turnover wise, but considering the conditions today (-3 when I left, and +3 when I came home), not too bad at all. Have been ankle deep in snow in basically every customer's garden, and only the main roads were doable. Back roads and private drives weren't very good at all. And that's here in Surrey.Had time for 20 min tea/toilet break as well, and 15 min lunch, so extremely pleased with the daily average.14 jobs, total : £397£13, £27, £24, £17, £18, £13, £10, £18, £72, £15, £55, £19, £72, £23. (£1 tip)Probably taking the day off tomorrow only because I came in too late from work yesterday, and when the RO was done filling, the feed and drain pipes were already frozen, so couldn't blow out the water. When I came home today they were still frozen. Shame, might just have enough water to do some work, but not a full day.Little video I took from a back road, completely iced over. Fun.http://tinyurl.com/ama36ny
I'm so glad nobody came the other way!! This was pretty much the worst road I went on, the main roads were really good, finally the council did a good job.
