This weather is doing my fking nut in; get to job, ladder up, ladder down. Jobs unfinished everywhere, jobs waiting to start. If it ain't too frosty it's too wet.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Costing me a fortune.

My birthday is early June and in my experience it is always crap. The weather that is my birthday is entertaining at time.

Why not put a roof up over the roof you're working on to keep you dry?

Our roofers came and set up their scaffolding two weeks ago. They've yet to make a start as it's either raining or freezing, or snowing!

Puffs, our roofer went up onto the roof just before it started to rain, my dad asked what will happen if it starts raining? (meaning, what will you do about the huge hole in the roof) Roofer said, I'll get wet.

Ah, but we need to take a large portion of roof off. If it comes off then starts pissing down, we'll have a ruined ceiling on our hands and it'll never dry out. At least, I think that's the logic.

Its called bloody winter, its the first time we've had a proper one for years, stop moaning, I'm loving it.

At least its not horizontal rain.
