attention all tradders is your bucket too deep ,are you having to bend too far down to dip your big yellow sponge in that 2 inch of mud youve had in your bucket for 3 hours .simply half fill your bucket with cement or if you prefer concrete.hey presto no more bending to the floor.now you can laugh at all the other tradders when you see them breaking there backs bending right down ;) ;) ;Dkeep on tradding

no need for concrete ;) buy a tin of expanding foam and half fill the bucket job done ;D and weighs next to nothing honest try it

Very funny barry and well done taking the wind out of his sails, stu-mac! ;D

Ha ha ha, carry a bucket around half full of cement and with water...ok mate
-
Even better, use a wheelbarrow. You won't have to bend so far and you won't even have to carry the water because you can just push it around.

A lot of the trad cleaners round here seem to have given up their buckets in favour of spray bottles
-
well thats stupid . how you gonna get concrete in a spray bottle ??? ???

You might get it in; it's getting it out that's difficult!
;D

I use a sponge on a rope.

I like to use one of these, it keeps my bucket at the optimum height to save bending down and I never have to carry it.
If a customer has steps to the garden, then them windows just can't be done. :)

I thought this was a good idea but your instructions let it down, I did as you suggested using quick dry cement but you failed to say the bucket needed to be empty when adding it.
I now can’t get either my squeegee or applicator out of the bucket. ???
Any suggestions?

what i used to do was drill holes in bucket .fill it to brim then after u done 3 houses top up bucket with custies water
-
yes , are the handles on you trad tools stuck up . if so remove the bucket handle and use the trad tools as handles for carrying the bucket . you will have to buy some new tools but your bucket will look cool .who knows you might even start a new trend . :D

gave em the wheelbarrow tip months ago even told em when it rains to turn it over and use it as a shelter think theres a few lads started using it . it might catch on ;)
