Juat looked at the forecast for this week. Guess what Yes RAIN bloody RAIN. again
Are any other contractors as sick as me. In the space of 4 weeks I have lost nearly 2 weeks to the weather. Theres only so much you can do when it is pi**ing down constantly.
Why is it that when you want to build a facing brick wall - it rains. You come to lay flags - it rains
I laid a full dry screed for 20m2 of Saxon flags last Thursday - guess what as soon as i finished screeding the heavens opened Result - nice dry mix turns into slush. I had a tarpaulin on site - but it was used for covering the facing bricks !
At least Friday was good. Managed to get 70m2 of Driveline 50 laid - not one straight edge. Must have spent 2 hours doing all the cuts.
Ah well I will be playing catch up this week or maybe playing more cards in the garage drinking gallons of tea !!!
Lets hope for some sun soon After all it is Summer isnt it ?
Cheers all
Nigel

How many of us have heard the "Indian Summer" rumour? Every time we get a wet summer, this rumour starts to circulate, usually around the end of July.
Or "s'global warmin', innit?" Wet summers and mild winters are the forecast, so although we're losing working time during the summer, we don't get as many prolonged frosts during the winter.
I'm just glad I decided to postpone my few days away until late September - surely we'll have run out of rain by then!
