sounds like good custys, i do think that they understand about how bad the weather is and know we are trying to do a job, but it can be a hazard on ladders .
some have still paid me even though i could not do some of the windows , such as on slopeing roofs and that.

i also get paid for all the windows but i do all the tops with a trad pole except ones above flat roofs/side garages
price higher/work harder!

arent you taking the safety aspect of the wfp away by using ladders. I was always abit nervous on ladders on wetish days but i definately couldnt go out in ice and snow

If its cold enough, even with screen wash, the water will freeze, but I reckon you can work in lower temperatures trad than you can WFP, since with WFP its generally the nozzles that'll freeze first.

Oh, and I'm not sure if anti freeze is a good idea.  I'm fairly sure its a carcinogenic; ie it'll give you cancer, but a quick google should be to show if I'm right or not if that's what you plan on using.
