myersbg 1,355 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 the jobs knackered for a while now, trouble is the customers can't wait [ or think they can't ], still ringing and think you can go tomorrow, they will just have to wait their turn, when the thaw comes it will be 24/7 1 Quote Link to post

myersbg 1,355 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 ground was as hard as the hobs of hell before the eastie beastie came, i dont think we have had it as bad as some, i only have the tranny van for work which is f'ing useless in snow, its sh1t on wet grass [one wheel off road and your stuck ] Last time it snowed i parked the van outside a customers house, came out after a hour of spraying and the van had gone, slipped 50 yds down the drive hit a gate post spun round and went through the fence into the field, another day where it cost me more than i made. Rowan has it right, STAY SAFE, the moles will still be there. Quote Link to post

Rowan 308 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I know it's hard not to stress about it , but i've seen it all before and it will go . I know from experience its better to stay off the roads for a wee while . I'm not venturing out to any of the crofts until monday, but my landy and me are still intact. Quote Link to post
