Rain delay
Classic outdoor hold.
Hi Jordan — with the rain I need to postpone today’s outdoor work. I can do Saturday morning or Monday afternoon. Which is better?
Weather / outdoor delay
The outdoor job can’t start safely or well. Hold it and offer two times with a clear weather delay text.
Name the weather reason briefly. Offer real makeup times.
When to use this
- Outdoor work: paint, roof touch-ups, yard, exterior cleaning, etc.
- Safety or quality will suffer if you push through.
- Not for you being sick (Sick today) or a generic cancel without weather.
- If only access is the issue, use Need access or Parking issue.
Heat / cold hold
Conditions unsafe or product won’t set.
Hi Alex — it’s too hot/cold for the exterior work to hold properly. Let’s move it. I have Thursday 9 or Friday 1 open.
Same-day call-off
Forecast flipped this morning.
Hi — weather turned and I can’t do the outdoor job today. Today is off on my side. I’ll text two makeup times this afternoon.
Partial: indoor still on
You can do indoor portion only.
Hi Jordan — outdoor part needs to wait on weather. I can still do the indoor list today at the same time if that helps — want me to keep the slot?
Confirm new fair-weather day
They already picked a makeup.
Locked in for Monday at 10 assuming skies stay clear. I’ll text Sunday night if the forecast flips again.
