Title: what ja think boys?
Post by: bad trippy on August 24, 2009, 06:32:46 pm
Got this first storey flat i clean and one of the windows is a pain wfp, the angle is so bad ie i have a fence right up my rear end that there is no room to move so basically im looking up and the water is pouring down on my face because im enclosed in a lil lane.
Well today i was in our local discount store when i saw cheap blackspur welders masks at £6.99, i thought i'll have some of that and bought one, hopefully now tomorrow when i clean this dodgy window no water goes in my face. Watch this space!

because that only stops the water getting in your eyes, it dont stop it drenching your entire face

Assuming you have an angle adaptor on it, just twist the brush-head so you can then stand at an angle away from the path directly below the window and save getting wet. Getting wet in this job is nice in the summer amyway. Surely this isnt the first window youve done where there is a fence below it only allowing you 3' of space.

Anyway, there is a solution, twist the brush-head.
