Thanks

Yes, but try not to keep on one spot too long, especially on mortar area.

Or around windows.

Or brick joints!

Make sure you shut the windows.

How high up are you planing on going?

You may have to tie the sprayer to the ladder if your going higher than you are tall.

Expect it to bring up a few other little jobs that need doing too.
