Is that your van Peter?

 

[Diwrnach]

You need to go full carbon asap Davey. Much lighter and more accurate. A fibreglass pole bouncing around all over the shop will slow you down and results will suffer.

I actually use the "waggle" to my benefit, I can see and do want a full carbon, but find my waggle pole is perfectly fine until you are reaching at full length horizontal or at a low angle.

the wee one is whta im in at the minute the big one is the type im moving into on saturday i dont have a pic of it but pulled that one from net same van tho but it a big in /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[adamangler]

Well done mate. A van system is much easier as are carbon poles.

A van mount doesnt need to be expensive either mine only cost about 200 for a second hand baffled tank,microbore,hoselock reel,battery and pump and fittings

glad things going well for you @daveyboy1 :thumbsup:

we miss you over on the lighter brighter side :laugh:

 

[Dave B]

Did very well with it today

Did my work very quick and was done by 1430

Went to the unit to fill up my drums and got chatting to a guy filling up his tank in his van..gotta get a van soon

Was doing well for water (3 houses just tops per drum)

Last few houses i thought sod it and did bottoms too

 

[Diwrnach]

I always read new wfp guys saying "Oh i'll only use it on the tops and trad the bottoms!" I always have to smile at that, in a knowing wise way lol /emoticons/tongue.png

 

[Alien Human]

glad things going well for you @daveyboy1 :thumbsup:we miss you over on the lighter brighter side :laugh:

He's ours now Norm........we've got him hooked.......feeding him all the WFP gems to keep his addiction going.......once you sign for WFP FC that's where you finish your career.......no turnin back /emoticons/wink.png

 

[Dave B]

I'm not going back i tell ya....NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

 

[peter rogers]

get ya big 1000 tank /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[cheapncheerful]

personally...I shall remain hybrid....as some houses are just :turd: to wfp whilst others are..pure...magic...

today she was in so started to trad...the reason being the door was open and I didnt want to drip everywhere ...

then she went out and off I went wfp...

SO YEP...cheapie loves em both..

not sworn at the pipework then daveyboy...boy oh boy has there been some ripe language this week...

hopefully no one heard...

 

[Diwrnach]

If I see a door open when WFP, I shut it not get trad gear out /emoticons/tongue.png

 

[Ladder Lew]

As aboveWhy didn't i do this sooner

The quicker i get a van and stop fannying about with drums the better as then i will have enough water to do bottoms as well without having to try to conserve it

I will still defend the tradders as it is a hard job up and down ladders all day but also am feeling it from holding a fibreglass pole in the air all day

Still gotta keep my squeegees as i do insides but the more wfp i can do the better

Did some in the rain without slippery rungs which was excellent

After first 2 houses I stopped checking my work as is drying clear

Can't believe i used to slate the stick wagglers

On the dark side, lmao, brilliant take

 

[norm]

big Arnie once said ''i'll be back '' but don't think it was to do with window cleaning :laugh:

 

[Dave B]

Yoda: No more training do you require. Already know you, that which you need.

Luke: Then I am a wfp.

Yoda: No. Not yet. One thing remains. bird muck. You must confront bird muck. Then, only then, a wfp'er will you be. And confront it you will.

 

[Dave B]

Poles, hoses, tfr. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

 

[Diwrnach]

Bird muck on new cleans is a nightmare if its been baked on for 6 months.

If its just been on 4 weeks it comes straight off no problem at all.
