Well, it's that time of the years for the commercial office buildings to clean their halls and lobbys. Today's job started at the 10th floor and worked down. steps2_zps991844fb.jpg steps4_zps914fd384.jpgsteps3_zpsf249c328.jpg

How did you tie that off to keep it from falling?
We usually protect the edge with a towel and use a rope to tie the hoses to the railing.

I love it. The set up is worth the time compare to using the portable. I have never done 10 floors up but once again love it

Joe....I was just getting ready to lower to the next floor. I use a hose hook, along with a couple bungees, and tie off at about every 3rd floor. I did let go of that vac hose last year at the 6 floor level....lost my grip. Man, does that hose fall fast!

Yohance......I actually set up the hose the night before. I keep a 100 foot of vac and pressure hose just for that stair run. The next morning, hook up to TM, take a section or 2 of hoses and wand up to working floor, and get to work in 10 minutes.

I do it right up the middle of the staircase as well. I bungee the at floor I'm working on and the one below. When I remove the bungee on the current floor, I can then just drag the hoses down a floor and run them out and then attach the bungee at the next floor down.

Works great like that. The highest I have run is a 14 story hotel. Beats the the bucket brigade hands down
