bloody hell! cant believe im going to say this....but that was actually interesting

Same here. That was interesting.

My van is a muddle inside. I'm constantly having to move one thing to get at something else. Maybe I need to get my thinking cap on.

why did you have to say that, I will need to watch it now :D

Nice tidy van with some good ideas Daz you should not knock the bloke really , He has given things a lot of thought and spend a good bit time doing it .

But cant understand using spiral hose it will 4-5 times heavier than standard pole hose and most probably more expensive . It most be some weight to clean at height . Mike

I think thats a myth?? The harris pole is so lite any weight in the spiral hose would balance out to a Gardiner pole.??? Maybe we should test this myth and check it out. Your right tho on his ideas.

Daz Mate, I think you have forgotten your roots remember when you were trad and took a long time to even decide which pole to buy.We all start at the bottom, the Lad is getting it together. I am sure his results are just as good as any. Harris is still a good pole served me well till I had the cash to go better.

can't agree more with the above - i remember a time when  Dazmond posts and threads were regarded as highly as
richywilts is today !

give the guy a break - he's trying his best and shouldn't be slagged off for that

Lee - maybe do one of your articles about the Harris pole?
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Give a harris pole to your guy who breaks everything and see how long it lasts him Lee ;D
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Spoke to my boy Sam this morning in our Tuesday get togethers ( an undisclosed McDonalds in Leicester at 7.30 am lol) showed him the vid and I got him telling me all the ideas i sparked for the van I gave him. He is passionate, I like that. Told him to do what he needs :)

I am sure when you asked on matts cleaning forums for nominations for poles you could not include the harris as it was not a real WF pole ?

Why the change of mine ?

As it happens Lee was at a custys house  yesterday and they had a sprial hose out back attached to tap had feel of weight it had water in and is defo 4-5 ties heavier , But i have to agree you do have a point on the overall weight of pole in video . YOUR RIGHT  ;D ;D ;D.  Mike

Hi James, at the risk of boring everyone in repeating myself, it was because the comp was for the best MANUFACTUERED pole. DIY of any sort were not included buddy. I have not changed my mind on anything - its a video with harris poles in it and a good set up from Richard. Hope that helps.

Just to clear the weight issue out of the spiral hose, the ones I use are not the garden type hose that u guys think of. Do you really think that someone would be that silly to use one of them!
 This is a high grade air pressure hose, when empty it only weights just under 150g's. Even with water in it weights less than an empty pole hose that most guys use!

The pump and the barrel is only use on terrace houses that have no back garden access and saves dragging hoses through the house, leaving the customers front door wide open while you work out the back. Some guys use back packs, same thing really!

The fold up signs don't blow over when they are used inside!

I don't use gloves to hold poles, they are for other work I do.

Spiral tubing is just madness. Think of the weight of that pole.

If I put a Gardiner superlight brush on that pole, the pole is lighter than a clx of the same size,but only by a few grams but still lighter

my take on his van set up?

rubbish poles and brushes

rubbish gloves(not waterproof)

i use microbore instead of minibore(easier to manage)

pump set up with 25L barrel........erm.....not for me!

folding warning signs are rubbish(they blow over when its windy)

i prefer unger ergotech squeegees rather than the cheap ones he s got.


he looks like a young wagga!!fair play if it works for him! ;D ;D ;D ;D

some people just like faffing about scrimping and scraping and making things to go with their set up.i have better things to do with my time when not window cleaning!lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

good video though lee!! ;) :) :) :)

best wishes to everyone

dazmond

The pump with barrel is only used on a few houses, the van has 2 shurflo 100psi pumps in it, one for each hose!
The fold up signs are only use inside, not much wind there!!!!
