The weather seems to have gone back 2mths,it`s been like it for the last few years or so.The good thing is hopefully we`ll have another indian summer to look forward to,give it a few weeks and we`ll be moaning because it`s to hot the good weather has to come soon we havn`t had any yet.

I got in my car to begin work and the heavens just opened up and a right deluge came down. I had to go into town to pay some cash into the bank so did that, came out of the bank and the sun was out. Thought right get cracking and got to my jobs and was cleaning like a bloody madmean when 3 and a half hours later I realised it wasnt going to rain again and we had a nice day. I was hungry and thirsty cos when I started I thought bet it rains in 30 mins or so and if it did I was going to shoot off for a bacon sarnie and a cup of tea and start again!
Am hoping its ok from Monday.

The positive side of this rain is that my WFP speed has increased because of all this rain. More time off work because of the rain but just about keeping up with my schedule. I'm finding quicker ways and better shortcuts all the time with all this Bl**dy rain!

Went to get payment from a job I had done in the rain.(heavy).One bad run in the middle of each frame, no spots.

I noticed but customer didn't, the customer was happy. Why was it, dirt on the frame running down? the windows are newish and very clean.

If its a run its definitely coming from the frame above. I don't know what its like where you are but here in London suburbs frames will collect an amazing amount of grime between cleans
Part of that is due to the design of the frames. The modern UPVC frames have that 45 degree shelf on the top of the frame that is perfect for muck to settle on. The 45 degree slope on the bottom edge collects big drips that just hang there threatening to run down the glass.
