[M & C Window Cleaning]

I remember doing something very much like that when I was about twenty five and feeling perfectly safe. Having cleaned the window numerous times however, I noticed one day that the wooden hand rail was only connected to the wall with two wood screws, one in the hand rail and one in the wall. I suddenly realised how fortunate I'd been that I hadn't had a serious accident.

He doesn't look like a window cleaner to me, he looks like a regular guy whose cleaning his own windows.

I saw similar over the weekend.  A neighbor (one I don't like and who tried to get me to clean his rear top windows only (the ones above the coservatory; and the conservatory roof (another window cleaner (Tomo (a member here) also blew him out (they're not nice people))))), stuck up a set of ladders with some sort of metal attachment sticking out of the top rung.

He then placed a thin plank of wood over this attachment and rested it on the conservatory roof and climbed out of his bathroom window; standing on this plank; to clean both windows. 

He never managed the conservatory roof, and I did watch with some amusement!!!!

 

I nearly poisoned their Yorkshire Terrier last night, who 'yipped' for nearly an hour before I went and complained to them about the noise; dressed in my dressing gown and rigger boots!!!

Their excuse, 'my dog won't come in when called!'

I wish he fell!

The most dangerous thing I recall seeing was a guy cleaning the top floor of a three story town house from a ladder that was standing on a gravelly extension roof. The extension was only a small one, about five feet, and his ladders were within six inches of the edge. I don't know about his safety, but I nearly had a heart attack watching him. I seriously thought he was going to kill himself.

One of my customers fell from his ladders a good few years ago, while cleaning his bedroom window.

He said his neighbor came running over to see what the screaming was about and my customer showed him his gory arm; it was a compound fracture and a broken bone was sticking out of his flesh and there was 'red-stuff' everywhere.

He's a decent bloke and from experience, likes the fact I use a WFP.
