Title: Tops and Bottoms?
Post by: Kwackers on October 29, 2007, 02:13:35 pm
Just a quick Question, and might sound stupid.

Does everyone do Tops, then bottoms with WFP, or just do one side of the house, then the other?

I seem to be taking alot longer than others, but maybe down to filling the backpack

When I do a house using all WFP I normally clean all the top windows on one side of the house first and then all the bottom ones on the same side... Then move onto another side.

Thanks for that, might seem like a dumb question, but heard lots of people do all tops, then the first side has stopped dripping and carry on

I do a side at a time, I wipe the ledges to stop them dripping though.  Never had a problem from the tops leaving marks on the bottoms even though a lot of the time I'm doing just 2 windows up and then 2 down.

it depends on the size of the house i have found, if it is small I do all tops first (sry above front door and then the door first, then all tops then bottoms.

Big house work as far as possible from start do tops, then back to far bottoms, then round like that or should I say Rectangle/Square like that

I do the complete top first. All the drips have stopped by the time i start bottoms.

I found it a real pain till i swiched to microbore but it hardly ever snags while pulling to round.

If its a run of the mill 3 bed house then all tops first then bottoms so the drips have stopped if its a large house i will do a side at a time usually this works fine although it can also depend what the walls are like some are porous so the water soaks in and you get no drips or they have been painted then you have to wait a longer time as the water keeps on dripping
