I am trying Dave, I even took a few days off last week to try and rest, no such luck though.

Will be booked in sometime next week to be stapped prodded and twisted and clicked, see now that works

There is also an even lighter alternative to the SLX - Modular - either the S2 or fishing poles. The SLX is a brilliant pole but not as light as the fishing poles. Also changing your leading hand could help.

all the talk of strained necks/shoulders/knees etc! : :

i dont think it matters what method of cleaning trad/wfp.window cleaning will get us in the end!! : :

im hoping wfp will be a bit easier and more profitable though after a few months.been trad 16 years and i do have a bit of a niggly right knee at times!does having the slx and using it as your main pole cut down a lot of the strain on shoulders/neck and arms??

Daz i know you want to just work on your own terms but you should start thinking of employing for when them knees give in 

[dazmond]

danny im gonna go wfp instead!im sure the ladder climbing is making my knee worse plus the climbing on roofs etc.defo not interested in employing!

i employ the exact opp of your attitude to work.i price new work higher on a longer clean frequency than try to cram in lots of cheap houses in a day!(i do still have lots of very compact work thats pretty cheap though!i call this my "bread and butter" work!!)

by the time ive done 6 months wfp i reckon the extra work done would be like employing a lad but with no wages to pay!!

Yep all dooooooooomed!!!

thats life though! NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE.........
