Just curious because you seem to do a lot of window washing. Around here people wash the outside of their windows once a year, if that.

Once a year ?... wow !! :eek:even in Spain which has the same amount of sunshine as you do.. we had to wash windows a lot because of the wind and dust created in summer... ..and there we had wooden shutters too..

I hate dirty windows.. I like to make sure my windows are clean..

ETA most people around here pay a window cleaner, and he comes around monthly...

do pay attention to pain, remember it's your body's way of telling you something is not right... . I know we all get mysterious pains now and again, but they're usually muscular, if this doesn't seem like a muscular pain, keep an eye on it.. don't let it continue for more than a couple of days

Wow! Do they wash the exterior using a high pressure hose or windex and rags?
 
I got to leave early today. The Suits were going to visit again so all of us were there bright and early along with a cake decorator from another store. Five people? We were tripping over each other! By 9:30 everything that needed doing had been done except for baking more cookies. The Newbie hadn't done cookies yet so I showed her how...not exactly rocket science...and after she got started there was really no need for me to stay. So I didn't. I was outta there by 10:15.

We had the mother of all thunder/rain storms this morning around 6:30. It was so loud that we could actually feel it inside the store.

Supposed to rain all day...suits me fine because there are lots of itty bitty little grass shoots popping up in all the spots where I planted Bermuda last Saturday. Yippee.

Hungry and can't think of anything that I want to eat.

About the window washing. My windows are the kind that can be tilted inward so that it's not necessary to go outside or even climb a ladder if I had a second story. Money well spent!
 
I mowed the lawn this morning before it got too hot. It was around 80 F but humid. The 90s are forecasted again and the rest of the week. I hadn't cut it in two weeks because it's been so hot and dry where normally it's around one week. Lawns are turning brown except certain parts of mine. I enjoyed the workout and was in the mood which is not always the case.

The sun is out.. been out since about 2pm despite the forecast saying it was going to be cloudy all day. It's 75 degrees.. I started washing my windows outside and then remembered it's going to rain tomorrow...supposedly... so I stopped, but I got on the ladders and washed down all the Frames... ,

Afterwards I trimmed back my Rose bushes in the front. They grown so fast in the last month and one stem had reached the second floor windows, and I have no way of pinning it to the house that high up.. so I had no choice but to trim the Roses right down to a more manageable height..

Hi HollyDolly,

do you have Japanese beetles? They totally destroyed my roses. Yours sound beautiful. 👍

Wow. We pay over $100 for window cleaning and we used to do it twice a year when it was less expensive. Now it’s just once and a touch up by my husband. I should add, we pay that when we can even find someone to do it. I have no idea what they charge for two story homes. Actually a dangerous job.

The window cleaner here charges £15.00 for 2 storey house, front and back.. once every month.. or however often you might want him to come, but all my neighbours get him to clean their windows monthly.. I do my own..I'm too tight-fisted pay a window cleaner.. .

I cannot even imagine windows not being cleaned for a year ..or even 6 months

Our window cleaner charges £25 for cleaning up to 40 windows, A fair price I would have thought. We also employ an ironing fairy, a gardening fairie(s) They are a husband and wife team, our ironing fairy, is a life saver!
 
I am not that concerned with the windows. I just get the power sprayer out and do the windows and the shutters. They just drip dry.

Yes that's a good price for 40 windows.. .

I don't buy anything these days that needs ironing. Up until o/h left last year we took everything to the dry cleaners, including his shirts 14 at a time ( 2 weeks worth) now I don't buy anything for myself that needs ironing.. so that's another expense I don't pay out for ...

I have a gardener at our property in Spain... that's about all the maintenance that's paid for...

....it's just one of those things that makes me jump up onto my soapbox. I'm not sure why, maybe I had a traumatic experience involving 🐔terminology some time in my life! BTW: Dio likes to "egg me on" with this subject...he knows that it gets my 🐐!!!!
😂😃😊😅😀
 
I've been up early every day this week which isn't front page news except I am NOT a morning person. I had appointments or had people at my house doing work, all of which required that I get up by 8:00a. I know, it's laughable. I'm usually in a sound sleep at that time so it's a struggle for me to wake by then.

So today it was housework, yard work, cooking, walking the dog, doing a rain dance outside (just kidding but honestly, it is just too hot and parched here...we need some rain soon, please), grocery shopping, laundry, etc. I did this while the plumbers were here today.

I'm getting a storm door installed so the contractor is coming by tomorrow morning (ugh!) to do the final measurements before ordering the door.
