Looking on Facebook and it seems like everyone is having days off lol

I've worked all week, some heavy rain some heavy wind and I will battle on tomorrow and Friday as well.

I used to be like that but you just can't run a regular reliable business or earn any decent money by having a day or week off everytime bad weather is forecast.

I've had 2 customers wanting to skip so far this week  due to weather ...that's fine, few less to do then great. Of anyone else want to skip then I understand and it's no problem, if I do 95% of my normal workload this week it will have been a great week considering the weather.

Ok so you risk a few complaints, but id rather have 2-3 complaints and work all week than do nothing and have none. (Not had any yet btw)

What I've learned is to rather than be scared of what a custy might think or what the bad weather might do to the glass simply get loads of work, keep it coming in and keep churning through it, if anyone wants to cancel or has a problem that you clean in all weathers dump and onto the next.

ive had this attitude for many years now adam and it works......as long as i hit between £800-£1200 per week im happy......itll probably be around £950 by friday afternoon.....not bad for a crappy weather week....

years ago id struggle and sack a few days off(i wouldnt work in this strong wind trad!)and be lucky to have earnt £250-£300 for the whole week.....and half of that would go on drinking down the pub! ....not a good way to live(or run a business!)...

You're right as usual Daz
Loads of startups in my area at the mo, see whether they're still around this time next year.
My bin cleaner was looking at getting into window cleaning for a while, he bought a round recently, a bad one with terrible prices, he spotted my son out working this week and offered it to him, which he politely refused.

Because of Gareth gates blowing shut have been a problem for me.
Not all but especially facing south gates. I decided to bale out and go home alone.
You can't call a storm Gareth  .

It is if you don't spend half of it in the pub  like you did ? You can literally double your income based on what you said by not spending half your cash in the pub..............................
