The forecast for monday was so appalling I went to bed expecting a lie in....wasn't that bad at all and got everything done that was on my list, a few squally showers to cope with, but nothing too bad.
Tuesday started ok, but got windier than Monday and some heavy downpours, I gave up about midday, mainly cos of the wind.
However, on the one account (done in wet and windy weather) I did a house as a one off clean (a letting Company (estate agent)) that hadn't been done for a long time, full in and out clean, UPVC windows, half of which had oxidized badly.
Did the outside all WFP and fully expected to need to go around it, or at least some of it again.
When I looked at the glass I had cleaned I could see tiny particles on the glass, or rather in the water still on the glass...not helped with the wind of course.
Was so windy, by the time I'd finished the inside the glass on the outside was dry.
End result?
Much to my surprise they were perfect, well, ok, I did have to go over part of a bay window again, but even on this bay, which was appallingly oxidized - the water was coming off it the colour of milk to begin with - there was no spotting or dried out milky marks.
Sometimes you can do a perfectly good job in adverse conditions, and even on windows that on the best of days you would expect to get problems.
Of course, the reverse also applies, on the best of days you can do a poor job on work you'd expect to come up perfect!
Unlike Squeaks though, if I am working then I'm WFP, if the weather is bad enough to muck up WFP, then it's probably bad enough to muck up trad.
Sometimes you just have to have faith in your ability.
But today out there, at least directly outside in the garden, it is the windiest day of all, unless the conditions ease I really don't know how much I'll get done
Which really is a major pain as I have my biggest and best paying day on my round to do
And Tomorrow is a huge one too!
Ahh well...we shall see.....
