LOL!

I have had some real cowboys working for me. I used to check up on work, and send them a text "windows on the ship look good" lol. Other people can really kill your reputation.

The funniest story or instance was when i first started.

My first day went like this.

First house, last window came down the ladder and got clawed by a cat as i stepped on it

Forgot to strap ladders down, drove off and noticed they wobbled. Slammed on the brakes and lost the ladder lol

Broke a tile, while customer was out. Stuck an umbrella in the hole, customer came back and went

And the best was til last.

I got number 24/26 mixed up. One house i could walk on the roof, the other i couldnt You can see where this is going.

My mate Ross, had seen me and stopped as i walking over the roof. He said that don't look safe. I was like NAH all good, watch. I bounced on the roof, with ladders in hand and went straight through it. He came into the garage and all he could was my legs dangling.

WHAT A first day

You bloody idiot

It's like a magician's hat the way he kept extending it o.0

So how do you dry the windows and not leave water marks is there another attatchment.

You don't. You use "magic" water which when dry leaves no marks.

I was beginning to think it was some sort of trick photography about 1/2 way through.

Much geat a fair bit heavier when the tubes are filled with water.

Nah he has a Range Rover as a cheap "runaround" if he needs to take customers/family out.

HEHE i was going to call my self MAGIC WATER as well.

Its pure water bud. Clean frame, clean glass, rinse glass and leave to air dry.

As long as you have a water reading of 000 it will dry perfect.

But get a cowboy doing it and it will look spotty and streaky!

Haha, I thought that too. Super long!

Surely at maximum length it's going to be a bit hard to clean a window with?

Urm tbh at 60ft plus it is hard. But its mainly for commercial work. Your average house a 22ft pole will do (reach will be 26ft ish)

The man is Jeff Brimble, he is a god

88FT

Firstly, that's what she said.

Secondly - I agree, surely it wobbles about all over the place at that length? Or maybe that's why it's the best part of a grand...as it doesn't.

I just burst out laughing at that! Really?! Is that for real? Outrageous. That's the funniest thing I've seen in ages, something amusing about how ungainly I imagine it to be.

G-MAN2004 · 17 Jun 2011 at 17:16

Oh man, that's awesome.

I imagine him like 'haters gonna hate' whilst everyone else has to climb a ladder and struggle.

Biohazard · 17 Jun 2011 at 17:17

how the hell does he get that up and down there!

must start at the end of the street and progressively pull the pole up to it

Urm has a go on a 60ft and that was steady to work with. It is actually quite stable.

BUT the health and safety is extreme.

I had to clean the front of an LA fitness building. And i had to barrier tape of 60ft radius in case the pole went walkies. And it did! Nearly lost the pole

Nope he is real! He is the GOD! when it comes to WFP. He made a joke comment about using helium filled balloons to break the 100ft mark!!!! But i think he was being serious!
