It was breezy on Saturday, but we started very early and on a site where no public would be about.
Fairly low level, so only the Glyder pole was used.

Rhino, you must be the new 'matt bateman'
he posted some great pics of work - but it seems to cause some resentment ??? :-[
glad to see you working ! ;D

Hi
I think it would be really useful for all members to add pictures of what they are doing/using. The more the merrier.
It will make the forum so much more interesting, as people will see different things that maybe they have never seen before and hopefully ask questions that in return get decent worthwhile answers to.

Rhino-good pint, well made.
The more we share, the better!!
Sorry, thats sounds a bit camp :-*

I started in commercial window cleaning when I was 18, up in Bradford West Yorkshire. I sold a window cleaning company and moved to Bulgaria in 2004, where amongst other things I cleaned windows and sold Ionics stuff.
I am now 44 and started Purple Rhino in March 2010 and only went for commercial contracts - although once or twice I have been tempted to buy a domestic window cleaning round especially in the early days when we were just chasing contracts all day long (which we still do) I am glad I didn't buy any as for me they are too tying as we like to spread our wings and clean buildings anywhere.

We have cleaned this site for 8 months and believe me there is never anybody there on a Saturday. So no point wasting valuable poling time especially in force 10 winds!

Shocking pictures i must say. No helmets, no hi-viz vests, no safety goggles, no steel toe caps, no warning cones, no hazard tape, no salt, no ambulance, no life jacket, back doors left open that a member of public could walk into. Rhino your methods are shocking. :o
-
We also forgot the safety harnesses
-

Thats not me I took photo, trainers are fine, no high visibilty jacket though. I haven't had a pop at you, I personally think health and safety has been taken too far...............

I also state this in my risk assessment and method statement
Appropriate areas will be cordoned off and warning signs used. Sentries will be placed if deemed necessary....
Never done it though
-
so what is it you do then ?
-
Im always the one behind the camera, best bet nobody knows who you are that way! You would all find out who I really am, and we are having none of that.

No Warning cones is a serious issue, Rhino has bigged himself up to be the TOP DOG contractor with all the safety certificates and ionics school qualifications
It appears not so
-
You may have bigged me up in your own imagination..........
Warning cones and signs are there to warn people of your presence. If there are no people to warn, what kind of a fool would waste time putting out warning signs.
If there was any possibility that a member of the public would walk into our working envelope we WOULD use signs - we don't want to risk ourselves being sued do we?
Get yourself on a training course and you will see for yourselves what you are supposed to do.

Hi Darran
Theres always somebody which is a shame for many of us on here.
I use another forum -Detailing World- totally different ball game than what happens on here. It covers a different subject - Car Washing to very high standards - what I like about the site, people go to great lengths to help and advise other enthusiasts by showing pictures and telling all about how they get the results that they do. There are very rarely any negative comments.
Maybe the reason so many members of the public think we are lowlife is because many of us act that way?
-
I just think everyone is jealous of you Rhino, go for it , i dont think they want to show off there £2.50 bungalows and dirty beer towels mate ;) ;)
-
Errrrm, I thought most people were actually joking? I certainly was.
-
So was i ;D
