And 3/4 are you adrian mole??Puts the snowflake society to shame, top gent
Me, 44 3/4
As I’ve said I’ve been trad for 40 years. No aches or pains. None. I can still run up and down the ladder. The only windies i hear talking about pain are the wfp ones ???Interesting thread especially the mention of some seeing Windies in their 70s still doing Trad. Wonder the long term effects using "Modern" methods as in WFP will have on the body over time? Window cleaning is a physical activity and will have an effect especially if your using a long pole 6 or so hours a day whether it is the lightest you can get or not.
There will be effects from using poles etc. When you do any repetitive motion over and over, there are always RMS (repetitive motion syndrome). Last year I tore my right should cuff during a simple reach and stretch to get a corner of a window. The physical therapist said he saw this type injury often.Interesting thread especially the mention of some seeing Windies in their 70s still doing Trad.

I do agree but what we do is no ware near as physical as doing something like digging up the roads or being a builder or other manual work , it’s the easiest job I have ever done and Ime 58Interesting thread especially the mention of some seeing Windies in their 70s still doing Trad.

I do agree @Pjj the overall job is simple and basic. The thing is that constant repetitive motion will always have an effect on the body. We just have to figure out the best way to mitigate the damage.it’s the easiest job I have ever done and Ime 58
By trade I am a sprayer panel beater , I had rsi in both my elbows from using a hammer a lot , even now the muinit I start using any hammer it sets it off and I haven’t done that job in 26 years , so I agreee rsi can be a problem with jobs , Howe ever I have been window cleaning for 22 years or so 18 years aprox wfp without any noticeable issues and when I started wfp the poles were very heavy and like telegraph poles , now they are so much lighter smaller diameter there is no comparison to the original onesI do agree @Pjj the overall job is simple and basic.

That's beauty of new tool designs most things are more ergonomic.By trade I am a sprayer panel beater , I had rsi in both my elbows from using a hammer a lot , even now the muinit I start using any hammer it sets it off and I haven’t done that job in 26 years , so I agreee rsi can be a problem with jobs , Howe ever I have been window cleaning for 22 years or so 18 years aprox wfp without any noticeable issues and when I started wfp the poles were very heavy and like telegraph poles , now they are so much lighter smaller diameter there is no comparison to the original ones
