Hi Russ
Congrates on the RO, you won't regret spending the money. I would recommend getting a WS when you can though, if you haven't already especially with the amount of water you will be knocking up.
The biggest pole I have is 30ft it's a universal gf 6 5ft sections and it's a pig. I only use it once every 2 months for a mansion I do over in Danbury, I wouldn't recommend getting one.
Can't really justify spending the money on something big and light when I don't have the work for it.
Let us know how you go with the new RO.
Simon.
