Installers - How are you getting on in this fine weather?

kbell

I haven't been too bad, taking every job on its merits, if its not safe to do it, its not being done until it is..
The Driving has been the scourge the past few days, my van being rear wheel drive isn't best suited for these conditions so i've been putting off work that's outside of town.
Hope you all stay safe for the next few weeks

Jaysus, i must be the only one in the country that's working.
All jobs cancelled today tho, so i'll take the previously suggested fire option.

managd to install a couple of fta systems although they were at gable height at mo, hardest part is the traveling.

We are still out and about, leaving travelling until after 11am and keeping it as local as possible. Its mainly FTA systems at the moment being installed along with tv retunes for the irish channels via an aerial. It actually seems the trend is that people are copping on to the fact you dont need to be paying sky for the UK/Irish national channels.

i was in a T-shirt todaywith a lovely view of the mediterranean sea just north of Perpignan doing an upgrade to a Humax HDR box...
mind you i had to travel over 70 miles with the first 20 miles or so on sheet ice at 20 mph...... getting back was much easier...
not looking forward to our annual visit to the UK in 2 weeks time......if it is anything like last year... remember all those 'tunnel' Probs!!!!!

Its mainly because 2 of the local deflectors have been turned off, so people are looking to get their UK channels back.

Our van got stuck yesterday morning outside Castlebar, a local farmer had to help out with a tractor. We are thinking of calling a halt to it all until it gets milder.

We have been really lucky in Limerick over past week, had no problems at all expect for black ice on the roads for past 2 days....hope it clears up for every1 soon enought..

Be safe fellow riggers!

All,

Just remember money is not everything, we can all go back to the customer the next day, week.
Plus if, push came to shove, your insurance could say "Not safe conditions to work in" so your PL could be invoid. "Your health is your wealth"

Regard,
