Do you work public holidays?????
Although today was the Queen's Birthday long weekend and as I am off to Tasmania on Thursday so I only have a 3 day week I had to work today. I only saw 2 other lawn mowing contractors out and about. One had not one but two Scags on his trailer, a mid mount Z thingie and a Cougar, the one that looks like a Walker. Just wondering who works public holidays and who takes them off. Maybe you work some and take some off...which ones do you work and which ones you don't

yes Ive always mowed on pulbic hollidays except xmas day etc.
Some times there is no choice but to catch up.
-
I choose not to, love my days off!
Lucky so far my schedule allows it, won't last forever though.
Be different when contracts start kicking in...

I hardly get holidays so a public holiday is a good chance to get away with the family and turn that dam mobile off!
-
I dont work public hoildays. I like my time off and usually need the extra day to get over the hangover!
-
I love my time off - BUT, if the works there, I take it.
The guy across the road from me called me a "scab" when I started, for working queens birthday weekend, I did so to finish a landscape job -funny thing is he QUIT and got a wages, then fat
A self employed scab, I can live with that and now I wash the car saturday's, while he mows his lawn- he don't talk much now!

I'm with you Mojo, never put work b/4 the kids, Never - the misses she's cool, and can wait

Always work public holidays if the work is there so I don’t have to play catch up with a short week.

I work most weekends doing my commercial work anyway, less people and cars around. Working public holidays mean more days off during the week to go fishing. I don't work Anzac day as I go down to the RSL for 2up, Christmas day and New years day I go mud crabbing.
