Its bugging me now this, when i was trad like most of you i developed a callous where the squeegee handle was on my thumb, on the knuckle near my nail.

But since going wfp i have developed another callous further down from where i grip the lower part of the pole, but its freakishly big this callous!!! It doesn't hurt or cause any problems, it just looks weird and like i'm deformed.

Reckon i might show it to the doctors.

Maybe you are gripping yer pole too tight as I don't have any issues with my hands like that?

 
er...i dont work hard enough...i would get the doc to check it out..probably give you a steroid injection...hopefully something can help:)..now you know how to make me feel guilty....i will have to work harder tomorrow...:whistle:

ps nice clean room....

 
Hahaha nice one cnc, dont work to hard on my account /emoticons/biggrin.png

I dont think there is any fluid or owt it feels somewhere inbetween hard and soft, and moves around if i grip it, my hands are also covered in segs, reckon my skin hardens up real easy where it feels a high use area.

C'mon jimmy get a pickie up so we can see :laugh:

 
How odd is that folks as my thumbs look normal :rolleyes:

Mind you I only lightly grip the pole also alternate how I use it especially more so when cleaning the outside of gutters, fascias, soffits etc

 
Just a callous mate nowt to worry about. I have em on the palms of my hands from the gym, (the missus loves to pick at them, the weirdo).

funny you should say that...i hadnt noticed until recently as i am getting old, when i clean patio doors i find it easier to kneel these days whilst wiping the cills etc....and so i got some knee pads....and the other day i left them on and only then did i notice how i must have leant against the ladder with my knee when working....i felt so comfortable with my knee pads on....im getting old...:eek:ldy::eek:ldy::eek:ldy: and yep me got that lumpy bit ...not that my knees are particularly pretty:eek:

is this post starting to go all feminine.....dont forget your hand cream guys and girls...
