Post by: mileslake on November 12, 2010, 05:04:05 pm: They are awkward and heavy to use.

Brilliant on OUTSIDE of gutters and soffits though.

But I never got the hang of doing the inside of gutters, I cleared them really fast but the muck went everywhere.

You bunch of girls!!!

Last week I had to clean the side of a store using the 5 metre one. Nothing in that you say.

Store side brick - 60 metres long by 6 metres high. I had to stand on a road 5 metres away but level with the top of the wall. A drop of 5 metres and I had to get the top 3 metres.

The pole was held straight out for half a day of pressure washing. Not an enjoyable day but it got the job done. It couldn't be done any other way!!!.

Gav
- they can pinch mine because after that I threw it on the floor and it is now not very well!!! A new one wil need to be ordered :( :(

Rob ;D

Post by: Jack Wallace on November 13, 2010, 07:48:27 am: I bought one of these cheap off a car boot sale, in good condition except the 1st section is jammed in. I have not had need to use it yet so not tried fixing it. Any ideas how to get the section out and cleaned up? (its a metal first section into fiberglass 2nd)

Only paid a tenner for it so not lost much, the attatcments are worth that i guess, plus its ok for low buildings :)
