Suspended pressure washing

Spotted yesterday in Prague two men pressure washing one of the city’s historic buildings but clearly on a budget.

Men at work in Prague, can you spot the second one?

Caught on camera by one of our readers, it looks like two men were involved with the job, and clearly had won the contract with an ultra-low bid. One man had the unfortunate job of standing on a long ladder - around five metres up- and doing the actual pressure washing, using a domestic pressure washer dangled on a rope from above, so that the pressure hose would reach the work

A closer look at the man and the pressure washer

The other man was based on a ledge high above where he appears to be doing some other work, while he monitors the dangled pressure washer.
