this may sound obvious but thought i'd ask, "what do you all do when it's raining?", been told that it's here all week, so i'm gonna be a week behind my work and no money for a week at home!!!!
was wondering what every else does when this happens?

many thanks

Always save my conservatory roof cleans for when it rains along with any fascia or gutter cleans that i have.
Never do windows in the rain as none of my customers would stand it and i always aim to please and as you no at the end of the day the customer is king.
A bad days fishing is better than a good days work !

I work in the rain, as long as its not too heavy.

Even our best mate Squeaky has to agree, its one advantage with wfp, you can still work.  ;D

I never stop for rain, only high winds will stop me and that never happens anyway, I think ive stopped once cause of wind an that was only because i was using my 60ft.

I work in light rain and always intend to carry on if it gets heavy or the day starts with heavy rain, but in fact if its to wet then I think sod it and have a rest day this means that I can work better when it stops and normally make the work up..

Tryed doing gutters and PVC in the rain just plain misrable, so I go home and upset the missus day

I normally stick it out as i've made too many bad calls with the rain, yesterday i had a rubbish day, but today i turned out a cheeky £130, happy with that.
