Van tank so frozen sounds like a bag of bricks, all pipes in van frozen, all connectors frozen, all hosereels froze, garage frozen, 25litre containers frozen solid, trolley battery and charger knackered, outside tap frozen, mains feed hose and connectors frozen, waste pipe and connectors frozen, RO looks like frozen .

Still, on the bright side it's gonna be minus 9 here tonite with a real feel of minus 13!

I've had heater in the van, heater in the garage, lagging round the outside tap....but obviously not enough...

Suggestions for alternative employment?  It's getting decidedly chilly

What's your skills?

It might not be a bad idea for a few local windies to chip in together and rent a unit where you can park vans inside. Might save a lot of dosh!
A Co operative water making facility could be incorporated...........................................

[Dave Anderson]

Pj it would'nt be the money for me but the job satisfaction...

Would make no difference. My kit wasn't frozen until 3 minutes after I started using it.

So I started doing trad and that froze on the glass.

It's impossible to work.

[clearlyclean]

Its not impossible because Dazmond and Franky have been working.

[Sir Squeaky]

People who have been working have either been in warmer places or simply lying to try and impress.

It's not been possible here today, and I'll dismiss any claims it has been.

I Have been saying that for ages.

[Sir Squeaky]

Its over to you Squeek.

This site doesn't seem to work in early evening when it's busy, so only just got chance to reply.

In answer, yes it is VERY different over the bridge. The river splits the weather like you wouldn't believe.

Wfp freezes up, and trad freezes on glass. Hot water would too.
There is no normal way of working here, sorry. And if anyone is, then they're doing something very clever, because no-one I know can work.

Screen wash seems to work okay; just don't water it down too much.  I didn't lose that much work last week doing trad.  I reckon I could've worked today, but I'm under no great financial pressure to do so, so I wimped out.

I bet Ian_Giles has been working; he's a tough old dog.  I'll text him now.

Tough?  What's that got to do with freezing on glass and jets freezing up?

Do you two do special warmer glass than me then? Or just liars?

Bonny lad, call me a liar, or even insinuate I'm a liar again; please!

[AuRavelling79]

You make me laugh Roger:-

Squeaky: I can't work so you can't work; my temperature is colder than your temperature; the River splits the weather! You are all liars!  :

You do talk rot Rog - I was able to work, just did 3 hours from 11 am til 2pm - the temp was minus 5, too. I just did tops from an insulated tank and put a screenwash mix in a bucket and tradded the bottoms.

Then swept water away and put salt/grit down where the upper windows dripped onto a path.

All a bit slow but not whinging on here!

Bristol Filton was -5.5 at noon, Chepstow was -4.7, according to met office!
