-2 here when starting out, first 6 houses froze on the glass ....never mind it'll melt. And the sills yeh they were solid they won't have been cleaned properly....

Just about workable now 1 degree, I did consider sacking it off but almost always when I sack work off it turns out it's actually doable with a bit of determination.

Somedays of course it's just hopeless but most of the time work can be done in almost any weather.

When your customers own million pound houses and pay you good money , you may want to think twice about not cleaning the sills properly which is why I sacked it off

My customers don't own million pound property's nor pay particularly good money  which is why I take a more slap dash approach these days. In the past I've been guilty of over cleaning and giving too many fecks. Decided this year to not be so OCD and concentrate on earning money....which means working on days I wouldn't have in the past...stack em high approach.

IMO, what's more important in sub-zero temperatures is not whether you are able to work but consideration for any slip hazard you are going to cause!! If you haven't got the sense to acknowledge this then you shouldn't be out splashing water all over the place!

In general, skip doors or cloth them, then there's no issue.

Absolutely!  With common sense you aint gonna course no slip hazards.

Just warm water, window must have been stressed 😫

I take them off to drive maybe I should leaving them on! Though I do find it difficult to have a pee whilst having my gloves on.

And the path all way round the house?

Are you for real with this or just looking for objections on going out? Or do you splash/spray water completely every where?

The huge majority of my work do not have their pathways or driveways butted against the very edge of their house. The majority have a border and if not, they have a drain away.

The vast majority of the water from upstairs windows fall onto the wall directly under the sill towards the downstairs windows.
Same for the downstairs or if not it falls/sweeps into the garden etc below.

Failing that and you get water everywhere and youn deem it a risk then carry rock salt with you and nip to van and bring some out.

Did one back out of sun and packed in......contrary to what Nathan says  the water does get on the pathway.....leafleted the rest of the street as this was four houses in a row  that hadn't seen their w/c for 8 months......when I checked the back later it was freezing on the path.....all sills frozen as well.....

[Dave Willis]

Record day for me!

-3 here this morning and face n ears pretty cold. Windscreen frozen over...........

But then i remembered ive got a tank full of hot water! Turn on transfer hose for back pack and a quick splash on windscreen and all is good!

Yes i could also choose to not work today but nah, the joys of hot water😎

You remembered you had water? How long did you forget for?
I can give you some links to videos of your hot water system if you need or ever forget again  .

He only works 20 days a year and 19 of them are in bad weather.

His water also goes skywards- the only wfp operator to not wet the ground!!
