Followed by doing insides.

Windows on the upper leavels on the outside looked bad even after I had rinsed well.

Never known this before. Wish I had trad them now.

Post by: Skyglide on August 29, 2009, 10:53:15 am: We are on the South Coast. Strong onshore winds blow salt deposits on the glass and ruin the work.
If it is blowing N, NW, NE it's OK for us but strong S, SW, is a no no. We carry on with our work a couple of miles inland.
If possible we avoid working in strong winds - safety and quality issues.
