Here Comes The Fall Again!
My favorite time to work!
Can't wait for those nice crisp Autumn days! That surge of work coicidenally right before Christmas! (don't know why, but it always happens like that for me) Summer always sucks for me work wise.

Re: Here Comes The Fall Again!
Can't wait for fall and winter. We do most of our work then. No part time worker here. We work all year.

Your photo reminded me of the winter I ran an ad offering free icycle readings. For us the summer months are usually booked in advance from late spring. Other than that sales are slow until Labor Day. Then it's like throwing a switch and we are off for the best quarter of the year. Good Luck Dave

For some reason, summers have been dead for me recently! I just snagged 5 roofs today alone. By the time I start them after I finish 2 week gig Upstate, it'll be September! I love working in the mid to high 40's+. It's darn near perfect working weather. Cold enough for one to not overheat, not too cold that the shingles are un-workable.

Oh yeah! It only took me a good 18 years to finally figure it out...if I'm not going to be working all winter, why have expenses and sit home waiting for the phone to ring? This year, I went a couple of times...next year? I'll go for a couple of months!

Spoken like a true Entreprenuer! Yep! That's what it's been like for me... Winter dead, Spring work comes in, it dwindles as Summer begins to zilch then BOOM! Late Summer/Early Fall... ...It comes on like a Tsunami.
