Shammy,
I only did 2 days last week, when you have winds and rain like that it is pointless doing the windows as when you go and collect they are dirty again.
One thing though I have found with WFP you do not get the grit on the windows as you do with trad, so it is easier with WFP.
With the wind it is pointless as the same with trad, the water goes everywhere.

Hi Shammy.
I have found that W.F.P needs to be used almost as accurately as a squeegy for best results.
This said it a very good tool in the right conditions, but anything above first floor level in high winds to me is a no no, because you cant control the brush effectively I.M.O.

I really do feel for you guy's up north, you seem to get all the crap weather and the worst of it. here in the south we have had a few days rain and a couple of windy days, but only one day that stopped me.
since I changed to wfp, I even work in the rain, something I never did when Trad. rained for about an hour today, but carried on working.
Forcast for thursday is very high winds, so you guy's up north battern down the hatches and take care.
Roll on the summer.

I know its been pretty bad you're end, I'm in constant contact with Jouk 45, and he was telling me how bad it is . Keep under the sheets on thursday and stay safe.
