Post by: g_griffin on October 13, 2003, 10:48:05 pm: i try and use only as a tool holder but sometimes get lazy and fill it with water so i dont have to carry my bucket everywhere. this is particurlaly tempting when climbing over locked gates but i usually end up wet and regretting it.

Post by: g_griffin on October 14, 2003, 11:12:43 am: so those of you who use B o B just as tool holder do you take your bucket with you all the time? i know this is the best way but its not always practical, for me anyway.

Post by: fez on October 14, 2003, 08:06:02 pm: I take my bucket from house to house (domestic work), but I leave it in front of each one. It is a pain though. :-/

Post by: Rick on October 14, 2003, 11:05:20 pm: so....what are you guys saying? that you go up ladders applicator and squeegee in hand?

my old boss used to do that, cause when he started they had applicators and squeege's, but not B on B's. i did used to do the same thing, climbing up with the squeege placed on top of the applicator both in one hand. but using the bucket is much easier

Post by: Stooby on October 17, 2003, 12:47:44 am: Yes us old codgers used to have to carry applicators & squeegees up the ladder in one hand before BoBs. Or if like me you could stand a wet arse the squeegee went in the back pocket with your scrim in the other. I still usually have a little squeegee in my back pocket for many reasons and the one I'm mainly using (12 or 14) in the BoB. ;)

P.S. It doesn't matter how careful you are, if you clean as many windows as I do during the course of a day - you still end up with a wet leg. :P

Post by: Stooby on October 17, 2003, 01:30:04 am: Today I was cleaning an office doing 1st floor window about 25ft high with a 15ft glass panel underneath. I set the ladder so I can soap the panel and window on the way up, then squeegee down. It is about 50 climbs. I started at 5am and finished at 7am.I used 2 buckets of water. You try doing this with a damp applicator and a squeezy bottle. Not so easy. Also not very profitable. ::)
