now this may sound daft,but i,ve managed to shave off 2 hrs,on my normal working day ,this is how i done it,,,use 2 poles,now i guess this will only work if the houses are in the same road,but what i done was use one pole do all the tops (this was on about 7 houses), and then go back round with a nice short pole and do all the bottoms,not only did this job get done quicker, but i also save wear and tear on one pole ,with dropping and extending all the time,,,,,what do you all think then ,,,is i the daddy
