Should I feel Guilty?

[Shane]

With all this rubbish weather lately I must admit to feeling a bit guilty.

Do most people work regardless of weather (unless safety is compromised).

With bookings up to mid JAnuary I really can't afford to delay any jobs.

 

The point is I am recovering from shoulder surgery so I can't actually go out and do any 'real' work with them. Its all quote visits, paperwork and ferrying broken bits to DM chainsaws.

 

The guys are brilliant and say they would rather work than sit around. But here am I sitting in the warm while they come back every evening soaked and freezing.

 

I've seen a lot of crews out and about so I guess I should just relax and let them enjoy getting wet.

 

I think a really fun Xmas do needs to be arranged for them.

 

How bad does the weather have to be to stop YOU going out

It has to be so bad we can't get the van out safely, other than that we just get on with it .

Iv had to cancel some apple tree removals due to the rain. The customer has a "prizewinning" Lawn. All I see is patchy grass

They could get a job in a bank or a library if they don't like it!

[Scott Walker]

Im sure you lads are just happy to have the work.

Rain has only stopped play for us about 2 days in last 5 years. Barring safety issues me and others just get on with it - once your wet it makes little difference.

If it looks like it might rain we stay at home.

Depends how e feel on the day - if it's hoying it down from first thing then mostly don't bother. If it starts while we're out then decide there and then - usually work through it though.

[Mark Bolam]

Same as Chris.

 

Good waterproofs can get you through most days, but I'd pull the pin on reducing slippy stuff.

 

I'm sure your lads are happier being soaked than skint!
