Hi we ve been logging today and a guy across the road looked annoyed that sawdust was blowing around do any of you guys have this problem :thumbdown:

 

You cant stop it blowing around and i wouldnt offer to clear it up if it was any further than next door but if there is a specific complaint its only 60 seconds with the blower. It must be annoying if you only swept the day before haha

If it's travelled a fair distance clear up hard surfaces even just blowing bits to a kerb edge or wall to make it look tidier its sawdust. You can't pick it all up. That's why it's great for flower beds :)

Once did a sweet clear up with a blower where all the last little bits and bobs went under the flowers and shrubs. The old boy watching commented on how amazing the hoover was and asked where did all the stuff go.

 

I said it had a special bag.

On a serious note, we did get pursued by solicitors once where someone passing the site alleged they got sawdust in their eye. Fortunately our clients, a large contractor, backed us up and the evidence from the claimant didn't stack up. We also, on another occasion, got billed for valeting 2 cars that got some wood chip on them. Same site different day, so it's obviously a cultural thing. We now insist the car parks are car free before we carry out works so all the staff have to walk a bit further. They still complain.

I once had a woman threaten me with legal action if I didn't have her old BMW m5 valeted because sawdust had blown over my clients house and onto her car.

 

While I stood looking at the slight sprinkling she yelled at me "if you had a car of this calibre you would be annoyed!"

I replied that "I actually have a much more expensive car than that you stupid council estate snob!" And I walked off. Never heard a thing.

Haha!
