Is that an 18” brush you’ve got on there?

Think its the angle of the shot.
Its about 14/15"  an 18" is a fraction too big on my work.

Not impressed so far.

8 first cleans booked in and onto my third and they are a nightmare. Yes they look ok but on checking half the house has lods of bits blown back on it. Had to blade a lot of it off.

Think I'm going to have to re schedule them for next week forcast snow tomorrow.

What a start to the year van  broke down now can get owt done.

You can't keep the windows clean for a month after you've cleaned them , as soon as you clean them , there is dust in the air all year round and it's going to stick to the windows.
The main thing is to keep on top of your schedule, people are waiting to get they're windows cleaned after Christmas- don't let them down! Just crack on , if you get any complaints, then simply go back and clean again for free

I don't think daz will be ignoring warning lights in future somehow. Might have been an easy fix instead of having all the hassle and expense of replacing a seized up engine. Was a very expensive lesson learned. ::)roll

Used my Extreme at full 47ft today. Luckily the wind was directly behind me for the fronts and I was in the lee of the building for the backs.

dont give up!keep trying to do a bit every day even if its only 3 hours work.

1.youll feel better for it.

2.you re chipping away at your workload  slowly.

3.even at half steam your earning money thatll pay your normal daily/weekly bills.

4.extra rest/leisure time is welcome at this time of year with the awful weather! ;D

5.all things will pass(including bad weather and van problems!)

best wishes mate.
