Nice dude!

1-have a buddy 2-get off the ladder as soon as you can 3-leave yourself some room to climb back on 4- always be ready to bail

This is the best kind of youtube video. Nice mention of the Golden Horde too.

That is the easiest way. I was taught to extend your arms straight out and your palms rest on the rung directly in front. It corresponds to the right angle sticker on the side of the ladder with the ratings. I also stand on the bottom rung and gently bounce the ladder and make sure the ladder doesn't move left or right. Had a 40 year career in construction and by the grace of God never fell

I just follow the sticker on the side that shows the correct angle to use. If the line is vertical, the ladder is setup correctly.

Ok but how do you make the transition from the ladder to the roof? That's the hard part for me.

I always like to use the ladder on grassed areas if is stable. That way if I fall it is not on hard pavement.

That ladder is too SHALLOW, the very opposite of too steep.

Video starts at 1:10

0:49 "What I see is a ladder set up way too steep" But isn't that ladder actually too shallow? The feet will try to kick out as the weight approaches the top.

Your really making natural selection angry right now, stop trying to engineer nature.

What I have gorilla arms? Would buying a gorilla ladder help?

Hope this goes viral for this holiday season. Rarely people think how easy it is to warrant a trip to the hospital.

Good heuristic there, I'll remember that.

I had to go look up the word 'steep.'

0:54 Your thinking of Sonic and his rings busting out.

Nice info for those who may not know but think they do.

It's crazy to have this video in my feed 10min after it was published. Nice video, thanks

Good advice for a kid like me

Straight down appears faster and easier

Just for information you can absolutely use #000 steel wool. It will not scratch glass. It has been widely used in both window cleaning and the painting trade for decades with no issues.

I’ve never been able to get on the wide body channel bandwagon. My “go to” is the Moerman Liquidator channels, otherwise I like the Ettore brass channels. I primarily service residential, and usually carry a 6” and 14”, and an 18” if they have larger windows. Good video, thought provoking for us window cleaning geeks 😅

Where'd you get the squeeze water bottle from?

It’s clear you don’t know what the Sorbo slot feature is for? it’s not just to move the blade up a notch for better blade positions. It’s actually for the Sorbo Docket blade cutter. You trim the rubber move it up a notch for a new edge . It’s actually genius. I’ve used Sorbo’s for nearly 30 years. The rubber quality is actually from a similar rubber compound as the Ettore, it’s not inferior to the Ettore. They actually even smell the same. I use both, and the characteristics are nearly identical. Both companies are the best in the industry in my opinion. I use Ettore and Sorbo. I’m currently modifying my Moerman equipment for real world use, liquidator 2.0-3.0 . (Needed trimming on edges. Anyhow good videos man, keep up the good work Dave “The window ninja” 🥷

Good “Old school” techniques. It’s amazing how many washers don’t know some of these, and what they’re called either. Good video 👍 Dave “The window ninja” 🥷

i would be pissed see you damping water like that your making a mess

We couldn't get sorbo rubber for over a year and those who couldn't find rubber had to change to something else. The rubber is available now here in New Zealand. So, yes you are right.

I don't buy sorbo rubbers anymore but the ninja channel has a very similar feature but with only 2 available positions. In over a decade of windows cleaning I've used that second rubber slot maybe 3 times. It works for getting a flat or almost backwards angle to the glass or poling all the way to the ground I guess. However a 0 degree handle is a better way to do that anyway and no one uses the sorbo rubber cutting docket either. These days I mostly use a ninja channel with the gray plastic ends removed and modified to accommodate brass clips and I like it better than sorbo anyway. Well, that or brass or liquidador. There is also channel called "Light-rail" which is very similar to sorbo design but uses round rubber. It's decent but only available from one supplier as far as I know. And yeah a titanium channel would be amazing!

Yep that has happened to me

Are all these steps ok for mirrors?

That’s my dad right there

Can You use steel wool on vinyl windows?

We have never been able to get all the hard water spots off the downstairs windows. Using quad zero steel wool is genius. We just mixed half a bucket of water with maybe a half a cup of white vinegar, and some hefty squirts of Dawn dish soap. We dipped a rag in that and wiped the windows, then rubbed them with the steel wool. It perfectly cleaned the hard water spots off, completely gone. Next time we will get set up with squeegees and a squeeze bottle. That would be less messy. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge! We are loving our clean windows.

What is the solution you have in the bottle? Is it just soap and water? If so how do you know the consistency?

I like that bottle solution so you dont have to keep going back to your bucket. Is it just water and soap or just water to keep the scrubber wet?

I'm a rope access window cleaner, we never use steel wool as the frames tend to be sensitive for damage. If there's any harder spot we use a hard sponge or you can get scrubby mops too. But we're very time sensitive so we only use them on clearly visible spots, never the whole surface. No backseating, just pointing out other options. If I would do private houses like this one I would also make the job as perfectly as humaly possible, but when you have a lot of windows youre cutting time where you can whitout comprising the results too much.

and don’t let the soapy water drip all over your grass as it will kill the grass - as shown by this ass hole - 😂

Camera work is driving me nuts. Can't watch anymore

Very interesting! Would you recommend using a magic eraser sponge for bad hard water deposits (and on shower doors) or do they scratch the glass?

Just started a company last August. Trying to figure out why people still squeegee exterior windows when we have water fed poles? Aren’t WFPs way faster?

What solution do you use? Love the vids so far hoping for more!

I’ve Been out of the to long I miss it honestly

3rd and 4th are my most used techniques

great work! i make mostly s or mountain :-) it was very interesting: on the side pull you first make a line from top to bottom! That makes the side pull very efectiv. i will try this on monday. You explain in a calm way without hurry. Thanks for this great video and i wish you happy days. Greetings from Germany 🙂

❤good job

Bro nice video.what model camera u use to record?

Tools you carry video?

I'm more fond of the "Z", then the 'mountain'. Great ASMR content.
