-29 degrees below zero and heading out shortly!

[Mark Saiger]

Early cold here right now....

Usually January we see this kind of cold....

Heading out to clean soon....

When the sun comes up usually get's colder for a while.

Brothers are already at -31 degrees below....

This ought to be fun! .....NOT!

But we get it done!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Hard to believe people call for cleaning in that kind of weather. They would wait until Spring here.

I was thinking the sane

Same

 

[hogjowl]

Is it possible to be -29 degrees ABOVE zero?

 

[FB7777]

Damn... it's 8 degrees now and I'm whining


Saiger you're Superman


Oh and Marty's an idiot

I ran out of live shrimp this morning. I was so bummed. Then I saw poor Saiger’s weather. Geez man. I have never even been that cold.

 

[hogjowl]

Sorry ... I was having a Stockwell moment.

 

[steve_64]

-2 right now. Got a couple apartments to do after the walk in VA for a sinus and ear infection. Streets are covered with ice. Only about a foot on the ground here.

Work goes on.

 

[Mikey P]

Live Shrimp?

 

[JS41035]

Fishing on the beach. I have no idea what I’m doing. But it’s the most fun I’ve ever had fishing.

 

[Old Coastie]

Mark, that is obscene cold.

At there's no wind chill

 

[SteamwayPro]

75% of the people in the horrible state of New Jersey don't want there carpets cleaned if it's 29 above zero.

 

[hogjowl]

I don’t want to be out cleaning if it’s 45 ABOVE!

 

[FB7777]

All this time I think they have it all wrong about the fire and brimstone

Saiger is in Hell right now

"Hel" is a cold place in Norse mythology. Most of those Minnesotans are Norwegian or Swedish, so there you go....

 

[Lyman]

Only 3 below with a wind chill of 18 below in upstate NY. Still managed to make $365 in three hours. Using moving blankets to keep hoses from freezing. I have been home for a hour and my hands are still cold.

 

[FB7777]

How close are you to Binghamton?

I drive there almost every month

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Geez, you guys need a sauna.

We woke up to 0 but it's a balmy 10 degrees now.

 

[Hoody]

Woke up to make coffee and had no water. I did everything I could to convince myself the pipes weren't frozen. Even as far as I'm too broke for the water bill to auto pay out of my account, but alas it was frozen pipes. It reached -19 last night and I opened cupboards and let the faucets drip. It was -5 when I put on coveralls and spent 4 hours with a hair dryer thawing out pipes. THEN my dumbass plugged in the heating element at the main shut off , and installed heating tape and new insulation from the meter to the main shut off.

Thats what my daddy said! He was borned and raise Minot, ND. All my family on Daddy side is Norwegians. Friggin cold, according to him. When he moved to Reno, he was always calling it a sweater weather.

Must be talking about you, @hogjowl

-13 when I headed out to work this morning. You just learn to roll with it since it's part of doing business in this part of the country.

We have cleaned in the - 20's in the past, not fun but ya got to do what ya got to do. The bills don't stop because it's cold.

 

[steve_64]

They stop

I still have to clean restaurants and apartments. Always amazes me how many people move around the holidays. It does look like I might have 4 or 5 days off in a row though, I hope.

That's real cold...

 

[BIG WOOD]

Mark, in your area...how many other carpet cleaners are actively working?

By the way, good job on staying alive in this business. I'd fail miserably in that weather
