Title: running outta water with a few windows to go
Post by: LWC on September 05, 2008, 08:55:05 pm

ah man i was annoyed today!!!

i worked from 9 - 12, i was getting absoltly soaked, ill give you an idea of how wet i was, my phone broke in my pocket cause it got that wet! doh

i was doing my biggest contract, takes me a couple of days, so did most yesterday and then decided to finish off today. got loads done was so pleased with myself got to 2 last windows, the managers window and the one restaurant window, not just any windows, important ones and the water just trickles out. i moved van to a slope in the hope i could get the last drop out. nope still a tricklei was NOT impressed AT all lol!

i was surpised at the layflat 650, it went right down to nothing, my last tank the upright always had a fair bit left in bottom, but there was hardly a mm in it

funny when i look back now but i was not pleased at time!!!

I always keep a 25 l spare full so that if push comes to shove I can syphon it into the tank and finish a job off.

If I can see that I'm running low, I just wet the glass, turn off the flow, give it a good scrub, and turn the flow on again to rinse. They turn out just as good, no need to have a constant jet of water.

That's true, but if the window is dirtier then normal, you spend more time on rinsing.
