theres a great article in the latest issue, its made me think about going back to ladders, the WC says wfp is great for commercial but not houses, apparently it makes to much mess with the water (not that rain does the same thing), also when you climb over gates you have come back over to turn it on, by the time you have got everything out its quicker to get a ladder off and do the windows.

 wish i had read this sooner then i would have had to invest "1000's" in my WFP equipment.

Oh and he wasnt talking from His experience of WFP because he hasnt used it  ;D

funny how all the wfp critics have never used it. if they saved some of their dole beer money earnings maybe they could afford to try it out  :-X

Richard Clarkes comments there in the interview is typical of wc's who have not used wfp. Reading between the lines you can see the fear of making that leap of faith into something your are not sure about.
The costs compared to a bucket and ladder is a factor too for the 100 percent trad guys.

I realise that, I wasn't having a go at the article, it just made me laugh, I'm sure we were all like that before we changed to WFP,  but looking at it now we can see how funny it sounds.   :)
