How is this for cheek??

An elderly Lady who lives in a lower house with 3 small windows has a window cleaner. he fills his bucket with hot water from her tap.he uses her washing up liquid.
he also uses her step ladders. he informed the lady he was putting up his prices by
50%. when the lady asked him why,he replied , " WELL I HAVE OVERHEADS YOU KNOW " :skp: needless to say he has one mug less on his list :wink: .
any other nominations for the prize of Biggest Chancers. :wink: music.

 

lol overheads, there cant be many jobs with less overheads, and he hasnt even got a ladder priceless. Although you did say he has his own bucket, perhaps there is shortage.

 

Fascinating stuff Music.
My window cleaner uses cold water and brings all his stuff with him.
I live in a single storey cottage so nothing is difficult but he cleans 6 windows and 14 in the conservatory.
For that he charges me £10.
Bargain I think.

 

I use a small amount of washing up liquid in hot water to clean my windows and then hot plain water to give them a rinse.When they are dry I then use Mr Muscle glass and window cleaner with added vinegar and then use a clean ecloth to give the glass a buff if they still look smeary.Mr Kandy does the upstairs outside for me as I get height frightbut i do all the inside ones downstairs and upstairs:D

Don't have the luxury of having my windows cleaned,waiting until I am retired for that event{if we can afford it by then:hehe:}

 

Our window cleaner cleans;

1 bay window on the ground floor.
Window in the front door.
Downstairs cupboard window.
2 Kitchen windows.
Window in the kitchen door.
Double full length french windows and full length side windows, rear of the house.
1 Bay bedroom window first floor.
1 Bedroom window first floor.
Hall window first floor.

We don't have any first floor windows at the back of the house cleaned as I don't want him walking on the flat roof.

For this he charges £3. We make him a cup of tea and I let him "have a go" of one of my jukeboxes when he asks.

 

Hi Doghouse. you are getting a bargain there, keep a hold of that window cleaner.
give him a glass of brandy in his next cup of tea:hehe: music.

 

Hi Shiney a good bargain from your window cleaner, and £25 for cleaning your gutters is good. the last time i had my gutters cleaned it cost me £40 and that was 3 years ago :( music.

 

Hi Alice. yes a bargain. in my area they have a standard minimum charge of £4 .that could be for a pensioner's one person house with say 3-4
small windows :(. what angers me is, they have huge fancy vans/uniforms/advertising slogans and wash windows when it is raining music .

 

Hi JWK i think he saved the washing up liquid in a special container to wash his dishes,:hehe: and if he had got some oats he would have had them for breakfast:hehe:. MUSIC.

 

We live in a one floor house, most of the windows are reached from the ground and the inside except for the garden room windows up in the peaks, that takes a tall tall ladder. But we wash our own windows.

 

some years ago the window cleaners had four pieces of equipment .
they had (1) water in a bucket.(2) a damp scrim cloth.( 3) a dry scrim cloth.(4) a chamois leather.
now they have a wet cloth and a squeegee:skp: which will in general leave a film of dirt on the glass and the first drop of rain you get the windows get dirty premature :(.

ITS CALLED PROGRESS:skp: music.
