cancelling jobs due to weather

Hi Simon,

 

Work is picking for the Deltrak, once people see it in action they can't get enough of it. Done bramble bashing in Northants, Kent & in Herts. It's great on overgrown development sites and loves banks.

At home in bed with flu-ish stuff going on today. Got completely soaked and freezing the other day and had to come away from a big connie removal for the second time.

I find that medium sized open canopy stuff is do-able in the wind with a bit of rigging. It's the really tall whippy stuff I don't like.

I called today off due to awful forecast,relaxed drinking tea and sitting beside my wood stove most of the day.

I used to tolerate working in the pouring rain for hours on end, but nowadays i cant stand it too much.

Today was meant to be horrible, but the weather people got it wrong. Blue skies all day, dusk wasn't until 17.20, seen a few shooting stars on my way to the Indian. After a solid month of rain between showers, no light until 8.30, four o'clock darkness, cracking day, the clear skies dropped the temp right down to where it should be this time of year, even that was nice as the high temperatures were starting to get unnerving. Didn't get to any jobs, just spent the day welding my new trailer up, sitting by the stove now with a glass of red, kids in bed, probably dose off in half an hour, love it:thumbup1:

Haven't seen blue sky for about two months. Soaked this morning on slippery sycamore. Managed ok. Then it dried up, got colder and the wind got up. To be honest, it was easier working in the rain, than in the wind. Getting more and more sick of this weather. Worst rains I can remember. If it's too bad, then I just take the day off.

We took down a medium sized slimy sycamore on a small building site!! So sliding around in wet clay like soil! On the up hand we burnt all the brash, so a fire to keep warm at brew times! 👍🏻

Sod the bravado, i'd far rather be sat at home in the dry a little worse off. I'd like to say its because of my age, but I guess i've always been a bit of a wuss really

Thinning out hemlock today on a exposed site. Got soaked before panad and then it started snowing. Horrible to work in and getting fed up getting wet everyday. Luckily have a bit of plastering coming up.

I don't work in some weathers due to it being not as profitable more than its not that nice to work in.
