They are all tricky, thats why i have got them , no one else knows how to do them lol

I have to clean every pane of glass, most of the apartments are £500'000 plus

The last one is very challenging to do health and safety wise.

The bins are free.

The pole is an excell 60 ft carbon fibre, the only reason i bought it was because it had 6 ft sections.

fibre glass at 40ft?

No thank you!  How do you control that?

Surely anything longer than 30ft is worth going carbon fibre

I have used my 40ft Ionics for years with no problems, doesnt bother me at all.



I consider my self strong and the 40 ft helps to keep you fit and strong, i am now 40 years young and need a bit of a challenge to keep fit.

If you use that at 40ft the carbon 60ft must seem easy to you.
