First Job Tommorow

[Smurf]

I’m based in Wiltshire but am also very close to Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire towns and villages.

Where are you based smurf ?

 

[Smurf]

I would prefer not to give my exact location away as there are others on here quite close by that any information I share could give them a competitive advantage. /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[Dave B]

Paranoid? ?

 

[Smurf]

Yep that too is one of my many traits @daveyboy1 after all it's an open forum for anyone to see.

 

[Dave B]

I suppose it's different for your line of work

Anyone can try to take my custys as they would have a job taking them off me (well most as 99% of mine are with me for the quality not the price)

If someone nicks a 20 quid job off me it's less of a blow than a few hundred for an exterior clean

 

[Jake]

Nice area, your miles from me that's for sure.

And yes your a secretive bugger smurf!

@daveyboy1 what is that on the end of your Harris as it looks better then wahat I got & how did you fit it on.

It is an unger adjustable crank from wintecs for 9quid i think it was

It is too loose to fit straight in but my optiloc pole is now 6 inches shorter as that fits tight with a little electrical tape to stop it rattling

The crank fits perfect in that as that is what it is designed for

And unger cone on the end of that

Then i just put a drilled the rivets out of the harris pole tip and 2 holes in the piece of optiloc pole to bolt it on

I thought i ordered the zinc one as is stronger but this one is good enough

Google "wagga harris pole" and find the vid called " window cleaning tips- how to fit an angle adapter" and you can see how wagga does it by using a piece of plastic overflow pipe over the end of the crank to fill the gap

For some reason my phone isn't letting me post the link

Cheers mate

 

[Dave B]

What you got on it at the moment?

 

[Posh]

On of them small angle pole. Little black thing. Works ok but yours looked better for reach.

 

[Dave B]

Harris pole is 5 metre so i can do above conservatory from the floor with the angle as it is eaaily adjustable

 

[Tmile]
