So did you sit on the upstairs windowsills to wash the outsides of windows you couldn't reach from the ground?<br /><br />We have the same problem--2 story house with a walkout basement, making the upstairs back windows 3 stories off the ground. The bottom panes of each window tilts in to make them easy to clean, but top glass of all our windows is fixed.<br /><br />I never would have thought to sit in an open window, just to stand in the grass and spray with the hose (which doesn't work all that well). And I think I've washed ours about 3 or 4 times in the 11 years we've lived here, not twice a year :) <br /><br />If I ever take the opportunity to replace windows (or build from scratch), next time I'm putting in the double-hung tilt-in windows so they can be cleaned with feet firmly on the floor inside the house.BriteLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746599921292379358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-53248139725291297102011-06-03T07:34:34.813-05:002011-06-03T07:34:34.813-05:00You don't realize how dirty your windows are u...You don't realize how dirty your windows are until you're looking out the fresh, clean ones! We did this last fall and I couldn't believe the difference! We have vinyl siding on our house and it is filthy. We need to get out the power washer sometime soon and spend a day spraying the house!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-17159848576889374432011-06-02T23:12:27.551-05:002011-06-02T23:12:27.551-05:00Sorry about your legs and back...but I bet your wi...Sorry about your legs and back...but I bet your windows look great. Know just how you feel. Today I started painting the deck. Not finished yet and tomorrow we're back up to the 90 degree mark.Sometimes I think home maintenance sucks.<br />Hope you're feeling better.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749464659476217501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-63879610964049619262011-06-02T21:40:23.925-05:002011-06-02T21:40:23.925-05:00That's a lot of windows and a ton of work plus...That's a lot of windows and a ton of work plus a better workout than you would have had at the gym. The bonus is shiny clean windows and all the other work you did. I bet it feels awesome to be done, now it's time to put your feet up and relax for the night... well unless you want to write a short paper for me! lol Have a fantastic evening!darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.com
