This was a toughy

[Moderator David@stives]

This job destroyed my body, Gutters and windows

[Alex Gardiner]

That must have been a back-breaker Dave

[Moderator David@stives]

It was , neck back arms, all done with a 60 ft excell, took 2 days

[Alex Gardiner]

Did you factor in an Osteopath's visit in the cost of the job?

[jonah]

You did half a job ! Not cleaning the insides , tut tut .

[Captain Scarlet]

A Super-lite is perfect for this type of thing, Luke

[Jeff Brimble]

Dont think it is really Luke. Its still hard graft at that height even with a paintbrush on the end of any modular.
Gold Medal for you Dave - never again Huh ?

[Moderator David@stives]

I  did over 200 metres at that height, you have to have real perserverence and sheer determination as well as arms of steel.

During the clean i nearly broke my neck at least a dozen times.

Tripped over steps, rocks, down embankments, not a job for the feint hearted.

[jeff1]

Well done Dave, I can see that one as a real bone breaker? even with a 60 ft excell it must have whipped away from you once or twice.

[Kev R]

I would have opted for the cherry picker. Cleaning the insides of the gutter with a vac is bad enough at that height,let alone the outsides with wfp your a brave man - would you do it that way again?

[Wayne Thomas]

I bet that's the 1st & last he'll do at that height with that pole. Cherry picker would have been much easier.

[Moderator David@stives]

Yes I would do it again, I'll do anything if the price is right.

The wind was the hardest to deal with, especially with it being on the edge of the sea ad blowing an easterly into the bay.

You couldnt get a cherry picker in, there is no parking in the hotel grounds and it is set on a slope.

I think the only way i coped is because i have a lot of upper body strength, also I am a stubborn sod and wont let anything defeat me.

The job took 14 hours altogether spread over 2 days.

[DASERVICES]

What was the brush you used Dave.

I've done several but not at that height, the vikan brush I use does the job but is too heavy at that height.

[Captain Scarlet]

Jeff, Ive used the Super-lite for this type of thing and it works great because its so stiff and light, Luke

[jeff1]

Jeff, Ive used the Super-lite for this type of thing and it works great because its so stiff and light, Luke

Is the superlite really that stiff at those sort of hieghts?

[Captain Scarlet]

its not snooker cue stiff but it is fairly stiff and even stiffer without the gooseneck, Luke

[Moderator David@stives]

I think it is a vikan brush from wcw, the pole i was using was a 60 ft almost fully extended at times,

[Captain Scarlet]

Nice pictures Dave, that pole looks nice, Luke
