Title: new to the job !
Post by: jonah on May 02, 2008, 10:55:28 pm
Saw a young lad today doing wfp , but I felt really sorry for him cos i knew he was new to it !  He was snagging the pipe on bushes and really struggling with it !     Is this the most annoying part of the job ?

better than ladders tho its strange its alot of hastle but... i would rarther get the pole out and clean 2/3 story windows than get a 3 story ladder out or what ever. still alot of my work is ladders as i have a trolley system.

Snagging is more of a problem when you have the tap attached to the bottom of the pole, as you have a massive loop to get snagged on stuff.

OTOH it's quicker to have the tap to hand, and uses less water (quicker on/off)

With experience snagging hoses become less and less as you learn where to place hose and notice potential problem areas
