Yesterday I washed windows all afternoon. It wasn't quite as tricky as the situation pictured above, but it did present some small challenges. All in all, though, I had a great time. Used a broom handle and a washing attachment and a squeegee attachment like this
It's remarkable how much I could tell the difference inside the house (from the cleaning), even on windows whose insides I hadn't yet gotten around to. While I was motoring along with the washing, I had a few moments of anxiety that I wasn't working on projects that are higher on my priority list, but I got past them, and I'm glad I did.
I once had landlords who were moneyed & sent the window washing people down to our (split into 5 apts) house whenever they hired 'em for their own place. I remember being shocked when I first saw the washers out there, as somebody suddenly right up against your window can prompt a bit of a start. It was cool to have clean windows then, too. I recommend ya'll try it if you have the option.
I do have to learn about window glazing now, though. One of the older windows needs some assistance, or will by Spring, prob'bly.
I've been noticing things about the larger subject of my relationship(s) to the homestead, which I'm enjoying thinking of that way (thanks, Michigan tax code, for the label)---but I'll spare ya'll that talk for now.
