Oh the power, the power
And with graham us mods get a lot of practice.
As mods we have to adhere to the rules of the forum and ensure others do too, it isn't a wide open forum, but often the the replies deviate from the subject (as this one is doing so) because of triggers in a reply, someone will always make a comment outside the original question (the trigger) and then the replies start to spiral.
Mostly after a dozen or so replies the thread loses steam and gradually drops down the board, on other occasions it's like a grass fire on a windy day
And me & Tosh are the fire brigade
Sometimes a topic has to be locked, or a few replies deleted. or just a warning put on by one of us to drag the thread back 'On Topic'.
On this part of the board all threads must be window cleaning related, if they aren't then there is a good chance it will be deleted, and the same goes for replies too.
I would personally love to see an 'Any Other Business' board on the forum, but that ain't going to happen anytime soon, so until then Tosh and myself will do our best not to get to carried away with the red ink and the special hatchet we have both got for severing threads (I said threads...not heads
)
And to drag my reply back 'on topic'; the longer you use WFP, the better you get at it, and spotting becomes less and less of a problem.
Once you have developed your skills to a reasonable standard (and that won't happen overnight) the overall standard of your work should be better than it would with trad.
But if you are not careful your results could well be awful!
It is easier to screw it up with WFP, but as you gather experience you well know the types of windows that will cause problems, or the types of glass.
The difficulty is walking away from a house and leaving all the windows wet, even now I still worry at times that I have done it right!!
