[@jake8750]

good job but I have a few pointers.... one you should always use double bites on anchors in stead of just a single 8 also by adding that butterfly you reduce your rope strength by 50%.... personally I would have done a inline prussic to hold them together and added a secondary tieback using some 6-8 mm rope... I've been doing this a long time and have seen some crazy things happen and never hurts to be extra safe just my 2 cents but otherwise I like it love to see more ppl doing this stuff! stay safe bro

[@BrodyYYC]

Your knot you use to attach to your anchors also reduces also your rope strength by up to 50% 😉 no matter how many bites you have. Luckily I don't plan on taking any 11kN falls.

[@ChristianF15cher]

I used to do this. I SOOOO prefer anchors over roof rigs.

[@tonyshikes]

Dude thanks so much for the video. Does it ever make you nervous going over the side. I mean you know you're tied in, secured, double check, but do you still get nervous? What size are your ropes? 11mm static ropes? And what brand do you like? Thanks for your help.

[@kevinmendez8443]

After a bit of being dangled form the side you get used to it

[@ReasonMakes]

I'm a new rope tech in a different area, but we use 11mm static, yes. For me it's pretty scary doing the edge negotiation as there's no tension on the ropes until you're already over the edge. Once you're over though you start feeling your harness against you and it's easier to trust your gear when you can feel the weight being held. There are some guys who have been doing it for a long time and are very comfortable with it and not scared at all, which some would argue is a bad thing lol.

[@BrodyYYC]

This is a really old video. I think I wrote in the description to NEVER use carpet. The issue is when you're on your ropes you're causing the rope to bounce up and down on the edge and the fibres from some carpet can eat through the sheathing. My favourite rope pro by far is the STREP Edge Mat.

Hi, what knot do u use to deviate ur working line and safety line? Is it butterfly knot? And why didn't u use rabbit knot for rigging when working on tall building? Bcoz it's much safer. Anyway I'm from Singapore...

[@BrodyYYC]

Ya it's a butterfly knot. Combining the 2 with it is fine as long as the anchors are less than 1.5 meters apart and the angle isn't greater than 120 degrees. If the anchors are close I'll rig with bunny ears as well. Or a y-hang if I need to. All are sufficiently strong enough. Also thid is a old video. Don't use carpet as rope protection!

[@windowcleaner9741]

Where did you buy the brush from. Thinking of buying one.

[@BrodyYYC]

I was lucky and inherited it from a retiring window cleaner. I've been using it 2 seasons now and its still going strong so I would recommend a hog hair brush for sure! I've used a few different ones over the years and noticed I like the bristles to be a bit more stiff. Softer hog hairs make it a little harder to scrub out the window because it wants to stick to the glass a bit more. You also don't need to use as much soap with a brush as you would for a t-bar which is nice. The brush most likely came from here: www.window-cleaning-supply.com/brush-hoghair-100-pure-china-boar-bristle-style-f-handheld-starting-at/

Are you using a Petzl Avao? Because if so yes it totally rubs on my waste by my hip bone. At the start of the season it actually ends up rubbing till it bleeds and then I build up a callus. I've literally put duct tape on my hips to stop the rubbing which if you put a long enough strip on works good. I wish I had tried on some other harnesses before buying this one because I hear the Yates harnesses have a bit more room. The Petzl can be a little sketchy around the groin too. Some of the best advice I got when I started this is to wear briefs so you don't lose anything. I don't wanna be a total nerd to I wear them under my boxers lol.

As an irata level 3 I can see a few things wrong with this setup , I’ve cleaned windows myself and know that speed is important but an extra few minutes to tidy up your rigging isn’t hard , that bfk to equalise your rigging is appalling, why not do it properly and rig a decent y hang ? Also no rope protectors where the 2 sets of ropes cross each other, maybe I’m being anal but I would never allow that on any of my jobs

[@JonGretarB]

Just a quick Q from a novice... Is the alpine there for load distribution or were you using the loop for something else off camera?

[@BrodyYYC]

It's just to set my lines exactly where I want. I can tie the butterfly to have my lines sit anywhere between the 2 anchors. It's usually time saving because you don't need a 3rd line to redirect your lines. Of course having a mid-line knot makes it the weak point but for window cleaning it's fine. The carabiner on it is overkill I just do that for peace of mind.

[@karlwright3552]

The alpine’s not just for positioning, it joins the two ropes together so that the load is shared between the two anchor points. Also if an anchor fails or one of your lines gets damaged/cut your backed up. Would be better practice to set the system up with Y-hangs though!

[@BrodyYYC]

[@LOKOTOMI]

@@BrodyYYC Yes, I think it's too exaggerated, but that's what it's about, right?

[@davidjohnson8655]

@@LOKOTOMI I'm curious where you got this from? It would make no sense to anchor at both ends, in high winds you may want to pile your ropes in such a way that they don't blow away, but it makes no sense to anchor at the bottom at all, there's no purpose of an anchor on the ground unless you are doing some insane redirect over a building. It's also not about being "too exaggerated", that's just what fools say to make up for the fact that they need to overcompensate for not knowing their trade. I use 2 work lines every time and I don't go over the edge without a rescue plan that I feel will lead to me being assisted within 20 minutes of a fall. None of that is exaggerated, its basic safety, 20 minutes hanging from your harness after a fall often means permanent damage. This came after we were forced to wear helmets, use eyelets, and a hundred other things, before we finally said fuck this, you want to know what safety is? We showed that doing everything right ultimately led to your fire department apologizing that your worker now has brain damage from a stroke. Don't believe me? Call your local FD, ask them how long it would take them to rescue someone off a building you work on after getting a call, and then realize that when you fall in your harness, you can't access your pocket to make a call. Now nobody is working on the edge of our buildings for more than 30 minutes without their partner alerting the manager of their safe status. After 30 minutes, a response is immediately formed, FD is notified that the manager has lost contact with a worker and they are put on ready. We also built personal connections with SWAT, leading to them assuring us that they were also available to be called, and that they were able to rescue much faster in case of an emergency. Am I overexaggerating, or is it everyone else, telling me I need to wear a helmet, despite never working above or below partners, despite not even being allowed to have a rescue plan that isn't "call 911". The "overexaggerating" everyone does is just the excuse they have for when someone they are responsible for dies. Here in Canada, our OHS is far more developed than OSHA could even dream of, and they still fall far short ESPECIALLY in our industry. Do your own due diligence, and don't blame OSHA when your workers die from your lack of diligence.

The second is they have these weird pockets that actually hang over the belt line and would dig into my hips with the harness so I cut that part off. Also I eventually wore a hole in the crotch where the rope rubs. This season I've been using just a simple pair of synthetic pants from Walmart with an elastic waist.

[@davidjohnson8655]

@@BrodyYYC I would recommend that you switch over to a cheap brass squeegee, I stepped on mine like a decade ago to lower the angle specifically for big frames like this, that would save your wrist more than using a t-bar. I never use anything but a brush on highrise, waste of time, just hold the brush in the middle, even at the front for small windows like this, no point in holding it on the end unless you are trying to reach. Also, always use a suction cup, get those little cheap rubber ones with finger holes. Even on frames like this I rely on my cup, don't use it to move around, use it as upper body support and use your legs to move around. Obviously its not a huge deal on something like this, but for me I know I'd be slower, especially near the bottom, without having the rhythm provided only with that suction cup. Also, if you are worried about your wrists, using that brick for support is going to cause more stress than a brush ever would, a suction cup lets you use your chest and shoulders for stability, here you are using your fingers and forearms, meaning your wrists are giving you stability. Ouch. This also minimizes the strain on you core, and you know as well as I do how many people complain about their backs, and its always because of poor work habits. Use your legs and your chest to move around, its like the old saying, lift with your legs, not your back. I would even recommend drilling an inverted spine in your brush, along with a hole or two for finger grips. It still is the heaviest thing you hold and removing even a little bit of weight is really noticeable after a long day plus a hole near the end for your fingers will make it much easier to grip, removing stress on your wrists. Taking off the edges to make a spine will make it harder to grip, but a half line down the middle wont be missed in the least, even makes a nice groove to keep your squeegee in place between windows. I also knew a guy who just drilled a series of holes all over to remove weight. Just be creative, do what you can. Even planning off a few grams of wood will make a difference, that would probably work best, but then you'd have to sand it down and refinish it. Brushes are just the way to go. T-bars mean you have to scrub hard, the only way its saving your wrist is if you are fine with leaving a layer of dirt on the window. Have someone do a drop next to you, one of you using a brush, you'll see when light hits that the windows are striped. You need to scrub like crazy with an 18, and a 22 is literally not able to scrub the dirt off property. USE A BRUSH. USE A SUCTION CUP. I'm sorry, but I miss the good ol days of teaching the new people what not to do. Everyone with a few years of experience has countless bad habits, and its especially detrimental on high rise, and nobody likes changing habits while hanging 80 feet in the air. Everyone thinks they are smarter than me because just I'm too dumb to know you can hold on to frames, in reality most people just don't know how to use a suction cup, which to me means they don't know how to clean high rise windows, and at best are going to be crippled and slow by the time they are 40. Also, pro tip, if you create an extra loop on your figure 8 you create a hitch that is stronger than a bowline but doesn't cinch at all. I've known people who spend hours after a season beating away at knots, with this, (we called it a figure 9) you could hang a firetruck off a building and still break the the tension with one hand. Also easy to inspect for errors, it has a very recognizable spine, and just feels very strong. They banned all knots in Canada, now we have to use eyelets, but if you are still using figure 8's, you'll save a lot of time tying that extra loop, you won't have to remove it until you need to, and when that time comes it will just pop off. One company I worked at spent hours at the end of the season beating at their knots because they knew we hung on ours all season long, but didn't know how we did it. Now you know. Hopefully you can implement that to save you a few minutes a day on rigging, also saves you from those inevitable pant shitting moments where you forget if you tied your knot properly lol. Obviously you did, but the pants are still soiled :)

I wouldn't really call it high risk :P It's safer than ground work. That's pretty badass that you worked on buildings in Dubai though! I hope you took some pictures! I've known quite a few people that have come here on working visas for rope access work. All from commonwealth countries so I think it's easier? But I'm sure its still possible. It's worth trying.

thanks for information .

I think he means high risk as in the wind at that height would be insane every day. probably 30-50 km/hr just from coriolas effect

[@richiel3507]

Did this work before. It gets extremely boring once the excitment of working at heights wears off unfortunately..

[@BrodyYYC]

amen :) That's why I couldn't do it without my podcasts. I used to use a bluetooth speaker attached to a carabiner but now I just got a phone case I can keep on the top of my harness and turn it up full volume. I would lose my mind from boredom if my phone died.

Is it the law in Alberta to have your equipment tied off pike that? (your squeegee)

[@BrodyYYC]

Alberta does have a law but I think it starts at a certain weight. It probably needs to be re-written but I don't take any chances anyways. I don't even use a brass channel in case the handle opens up and the channel slips out.

It’s 2020, they have robot vacuums but no robot window cleaners 🤦‍♀️ save lives ffs

[@BrodyYYC]

I hear that a lot but what would be the benefit? Doing it by hand is cheaper, completely safe and does a way better job. Ton's of window cleaning robots exist. Nobody uses them because they suck compared to hand washing.

Why do they wear helmets for? lol

[@BrodyYYC]

I didn't wear one when I started and there is no law here that says you have to for window cleaning. But it looks more professional so whoever is hiring for the job usually likes it. I have snashed my head pretty hard getting through boiler rooms so it has helped plus I can mount my cam.

зачем узел на верёвке на крыше?

[@BrodyYYC]

Do you mean where I brought the 2 ropes together with the butterfly knot? Because if so you're right it was a totally unnecessary mid line knot and just makes a weak point. If I did need to tie it I should have put a butterfly knot in my backup and then carabiner it to my main line. My thinking was that I wanted to center my line perfectly. Вы имеете в виду, когда я принес 2 веревки вместе с бабочка узел? Потому что если это так, вы правы это было совершенно ненужным средней линии узел и просто делает слабое место. Если бы не необходимость его я должен был положить бабочка Узел в моем резервное копирование, а затем карабин к моей главной линии. Мое мышление в том, что я хотел в центр моя линия прекрасно.

[@4op4op]

он хочет чтобы основная шла рядом со страховкой , у него протектор - коврик и при нагрузке основной линии она может слететь с него , ну и бонусом - это типа Y - навески , нагрузка на каждую точку поделится пополам при таком угле веревок ( если поднатянуть веревки до узла ). Я бы , кстати , наоборот привязал - основную по прямой , а страховку - на стене справа , а потом бы в узле перекинул так , чтобы страховка и асап был слева
