I am waiting for the reply "Why do you not work in rain?"

good point! whats everyone got against the rain? get some good waterproofs and it becomes fun!

It is never fun wait.  My reasons are

1.  I do not like getting soaked through
2.  Customers do not like it (yes Iknow the rain water does not make them dirty)
3.  It is dangerous.  Rungs get wet and the ground is wet.  I would rather be safe and not risk serious injury for £150.

1. good quality waterproofs will stave off the most of it!

2. using wfp most of customers dont have a prob because im
wetting windows anyway and i dont get any complaints.

3. get a wfp system ;D ;D ;D

1.  Cannot afford a WFP system
2.  Maybe it is due to the splash and dash brigade around here but all the windows I have seen done by WFP have come up awful.  Maybe I need someone to show me it used properly.
3. Did I mention could not afford it.

if you can save £500 you can afford a simple d.i trolley set up!
& get some good waterproofs and you wont get wet at all let alone soaked through!!!

Day off mate!


Day off !!

You cant have a dayoff !!

You gotta get out there mate, get on with it, even on a day off. No slacking allowed, even if you havent got the work   youve still got to get out there and get on with it.  Particularly when its chucking it down  ;D

i think smaller companies can just work when they want, especially if its just domestic work.

we have at least one member of staff working 24/7. As we have to provide a night cleaner/cleaners for a few jobs...

i personally work every day but only half days on sat and sun.

70% commercial though and thats why i/we have to work on the wkends ...

I'd cancel if I was you. They're not cheap kids parties - food, entertainment, party bag etc etc. Cancel and go fishing. Much more enjoyable.

I'm with Tom on that one; fishing is far more fun.

I sometimes work on a Saturday but I'd rather not cause Saturdays are for footie - even the wife loves the game - she loves Stevie at least :)
Come and talk dirty to us!!!
