    Its pouring down here at the moment, in a way its good, because last time we had days of rain I ended up with a heap of jobs pushed into one week, now Ive got an excuse to push those jobs into next week which is quieter

    The rain's back here today - off and on. Was supposed to be out doing about 5 hours worth of 3m tall hedging but don't really fancy using ladders in the wet. Looks like everybody's going to be further behind again.

    Spoke to another contractor last week who (with his partner) were 55 jobs behind schedule. Thankfully for me, today will only put me about 8 - 10 jobs behind.

    I haven't worked since last week, the ground is saturated. Last week I would try and do a few, and they just looked ****, looked at others, rain is not running away or soaking in, just sitting on top. Its not worth it.
    We have had over 400mm over the last couple of weeks, our March average is 148mm.
    With the low coming down the coast, its only going to get sloppy.
    Not much I can do about it, at least we have passed the peak growing season, so it won't be to hard to catch up, and in the long term it means it will still be nice and green heading into winter.

    Yeah mate, I hear the weekend may be ok but wait and see.
    Ive made a whopping $120 from a bit of rubbish removal this week so far! Thats my ute payment, need another one for the mower payment. I dont need to eat or have electricity or anything.

    Seriously, all the little damned showers have kept the place soaking.

    How'd you go at that job?
