now i know this will not interest al of you, infact most of you had better stop reading now
no need to look it you like " off the shelf kit "
now that should do away with the " it looks rubbish" & " i dont like it " & " my brush from XXXXXX supplier looks better "
Ive been suffering from a sore neck since last Christmas, my thought on it were :
1. Humping those 25 L barrels filled to the brim ( thus 30 L ) into my car boot, the style of the car was it was a estate with a raised tailgate, ive altered this in 2 ways now, dont fill the 25 L past 20 ish L's and ive now got a van ( still use barrels though ( hey i like the unprofessional look of it :
:
2. my Unger ali pole and Vikan brush
Im now using a lightweight fishing pole, its working well, only downside was my brush the "vikan" was too heavy for it, so ive used a "bently brush" for 2 months, it was very light and worked well enough, the only thing i noticed was the bristles would foul the fan jets, i would then use more water rinseing down the glass
the combination of the lightweight pole / brush and the less water in the van has stoped my sore neck
but i missed the Vikan, its a good brush
so i set about making a Vikan lighter ( after jikwan mentioned it on here )
brush weights @ start
Bently 230 g
Vikan 430 g
i cut and took the Vikan down to 340 g, great i thought, its a fair bit lighter, i worked Monday and tuesday with it, i used less water and thought it was great
i got home with a niggling neck pain, today ( wednesday ) its fairly painfull again, the only thing i have changed is the brush weight, 110 gramms more, its not a lot
so today i set about making the other Vikan even lighter ( i have 2 brushs here )
ive now got it down to 270 g , which is right down as low as i can get it, its only 40 g more than the bently and still has its shape
im happier and hope it will sort out my neck pain
