No one minds all the questions, most of us did the same thing, so fire away.

You may get more or better responses if you put your area were you live in your profile, this way any of the guy's who live near you, can some times offer you personal help.

not a problem mate, in response to your previous posts about poles etc.

My advice is go for a 21ft extel fibreglass and a 12ft extender fibreglass, both quite cheap, very light and will last reasonably well.

hose - go for 6mm up to 70metres and 8mm for anything over that.

pumps - stick with shurflo

get a varistream

once you get going just take your time, don't rush jobs and no matter what happens keep the chin up - you'll get there eventually.

Lastly - take pride in your work, yourself and wear a smile all day long.

when you say 3 storey I take it you mean, ground floor, first floor then 2nd floor?  If so then a 21ft will prob do it but go for a 25ft to be on the safe side, firstly check that there is plenty of this type of work about first before you make any purchases.

yeah ground up to 2nd floor flats i meant. you could always use the pole not fully extended though but the extra length is ther eif you need it.

go for a 3o+ ft this way if you need to stand back you have enough to do it, I had a house today and my pole was fully extended to get to the send floor.

Always better to have to much than to little.
