Butcher on April 13, 2010, 08:24:04 amJobs of this nature, the top pane in a lot of the windows is above a stone ledge with a glass pane below.What do you do with those ? Top panes all the way round letting them dry off, then back to the first to do the one beneath? I ask as surely the stone 'lintel' between the two panes would dirty the bottom one with run-off from the top.Yes mate, that's exactly what you have to do & for the reason you state. Would I be right in thinking that you must be very accurate with the brush too when doing the top parts of the windows - to avoid water trickling down from the stone. POossibly even leaving a tiny gap untouched at top of glass?EDITED: I note that Jeff has brought up the same issue now that I've read further.To be honest, especially at 55ft you don't have much choice but to clean all the glass right upto the top. You have to scrub side to side a fair bit right at the top to remove as much sand/grit as you can. Clean the rest of the pane (this will remove most of the sand from the brush) then push the brush just to the top of the glass then from left to right move it slowly over to give a good rinse.IMO the super-lite mono' single trim was a must for this job.The pictures show about half of the total windows on the building.Oh, and forget fan jets!! Pencils all the way here.
