they do say lammy it takes a few months to get used to it(maybe 6!)so i would be interested to see how you feel in 6 months time.i bet your ll be faster once u learn how to lay ur hose and re learn ur round.plus youll be able to canvass bigger better paying jobs!im gonna start wfp tops/trad bottoms to ease my custys into the changeover but i think there will always be room for mop and blade esp during very cold weather!ive been 16 years trad but i will be adding wfp in future once i get me van!!! ;D ;D

good luck with it all lammy ;) ;D ;D

im used to using extension poles as i use them every day lammy and i have big arms!so i dont think ill have a problem with using the poles.by the way what pole are u using?i think ill get a brodex hydra for starters then move on to an slx when funds allow.i would rather use a pole than climb up some of the pitched roofs i end up getting on with ladders! ::) ::)

im going for a connect/berlingo and 350/400 lt tank in the future.im sure a carbon fibre is the way to go for less strain on the arms/shoulders/neck!!!

best wishes

like you i have been trad for many years

i was very sceptical about wfp ,but went over to it about 2 years ago , and yes

i was not sure at first, but persevere with it, and you will soon get the knack

there are so many advantages,i still do trad mixed with wfp

and i use modular poles for 99% of my work, now they are light 8) ;D

good luck and stick with it

hi dazmond

mods have pipe outside pole and you slot sections together

i use it this way with a trolly system i just strap the sections to trolly with bungee

not everyones cup of tea and does take a bit of getting used to, but well worth it

and it works well for me.

i do have other poles that i use on gutters facias etc

the mods are really just for the glass
