it is a gardner supa lite brush the flocked version, they dried perfect i would rather not say how many men or how much water for obvious reasons.

On the last pictures - how did you get on with moving the brush from one window to the next - did you manage to lift off and move around the screens or drop down and start again?

  as long as you move in close to the building and get the pole vertical then it is quite easy to lift the brush off and manouvre around the screens, at that height it does wobble about alot so be careful, for someone who hasnt used a large pole before then i wouldnt advice it but for regular users it shouldnt be a problem so long as it is a calm day and no wind blowing.

the front of the building there was a bit of a breeze and it was difficult to direct the brush accurately, if the wind had picked up any i did have a solution to the problem but luckily it wasnt needed.

count the base sections these show up on photo with a white part on this is the gardner name , the pictures have 5 base sections on making it 62feet plus reach height so thats 66 or 67 feet, on the other side of building not photograhed i needed 6 base sections making it between 72 and 74 feet high, admittedly the picture doesnt look as high as it did in reality.
