2 things happened the last 2 days
« on: November 28, 2013, 07:13:56 pm »
1) 3 blokes walked by whilst I was cleaning a house on a new estate yesterday shouting and then turned round and called me a lazy t-hat clean the old fashioned way.
Which I turned round and said you ffing what,i think they were window cleaners.

Wasn't impressed I wanted to gauge them with my pocket scraper.
2) Was cleaning a conny roof today and knocked the end spike off the roof.So gotta find a way of putting it back up,was just sat on,was loose but green so thought I would get it clean,
Whats the best way to put it back up???
Cheers all

Beat me to it. You could quite easily use your pole with the same method.

Put it in the pole brush then rap the pole hose around it and pull the length back to hold
it tight put the spike in place and let go of the hose.

is it the slot it one or screw on ?

if its the slot in one , i made a v shape in an old wooden fence section

the finial fits in the v shaped groove, you will need some steps or ladder   and a very steady hand  ;)go square on to the slot section on roof and just slide it back in and push gently.
