its good to see topics like this come upp as it shows what else can be done with wfp.
Must have been a good earner.
I washed down a big listed pink painted building a few months ago that earnt me £200. About 4 hours in all over 3 days. I regretted not taking a camera for pictures.
The owner was well chuffed. It came up like it had been repainted.
There is alot of money to be earnt washing painted houses i think. Have you seen how much painters charge nowadays??
I used a product called sandtex to pre wet.

Is it easy to operate then,is the course focusing on mainly saftey.I know that sounds a silly question but if it`s a day course the operating of it must fairly simple if that`s the case.

prices wise

This is a 3 bed house on a newish estate (15 years old) and took 6.5 hrs to do inc gutters and windows...

And the price is £230 for the platform (day)
