They call them window washers in the US as far as I can tell. I live in a very modest 3 bedroomed colonial-style house in New Jersey and it has insect screens and (thin) glass storm screens. A couple of years ago I was having the gutters cleaned - it's essential here as there are many trees and the rainfall can be very heavy indeed. The gutter cleaning company also washes windows, so I asked for both jobs to be done.

I had a massive bill - $95 for the gutter cleaning and a whopping $400 to clean the bloody windows! :eek::thumbdown:

Needless to say, the next time they get professionally cleaned is when I put the house on the market.
:curse:

Yes, it has been a wonderful Spring in England (spouse has been in the UK and Switzerland for the past six weeks, it's been fantastic in Switzerland too):

It's apparently going to be the hottest Easter on record in the UK - you lucky bllighters!

Meanwhile over here in New Jersey it is overcast, very cool temps and often rainy or drizzly this Spring. :(

PS: Just got the radio on, they're obsessed with the Royal Wedding over here, they're now talking about what's on the menu at Buckingham Palace on the big day...:lol:

Holy cow!!! I wonder if our gutter company does windows. I'll have to ask. But at that price I'm with you - I'll wait until the house goes up for sale.

Another choice with a real British garden.

Very nice house for that price, Cheers. Lovely garden, too. Needs updating throughout but you can live in this one while you do it. Looks like a nice neighborhood.

Rosie very well said, and yes we all must stay together, over time we all have become very good friends, and like you ----- I feel that I would certainly miss so many people on our wonderful thread ---- so if we have to bob around different threads to talk to each other then so be it!!!! I would rather it stayed like it was but ------ well think about it this way all us regulars (oldies) were like living in this big international house, and then the residents of the house grew and grew untill there were too many for the size of the house so it was necesary to build a couple more houses to accomadate all the rest, -------------- thats life, things change, all the oldies on here know that I would have been totally lost if I did not have the support of all these wonderful people on here, on the original 50,s & 60,s club from the time I joined in August of 2009, the warmth and careing and friendship that I felt from everyone from the early days till now was and still is fantastic,

Without you all ---- FIRST I would never had become an American Citizen, so many people said to me Just go for it --- so I did, and SECOND I would not be in England now enjoying everything thats here (including the lovely weather we are having of late) and settling down real nice and enjoying my retirement to the hilt, and just living every day to the absolute fullest, And enjoying being with my Mum and getting to know her again, Its just great!!! as they used to say in America years ago in the movies -----
Im a happy man and everythings just SWELL ---- JUST SWELL HONEY :D
:thumbsup:
Take care rosie and all my friends on here.
Ed/pegie nice to see you on here again,
OPPPPS am I getting a little too serious here ---- am I supossed to be on another thread? well no I dont think so cause I was posting in response to Rosies post on here so it has to be here right? ----- OMG not quite sure really ----- Oh Well I will just have to chance it --- take a gamble ---- after all Im from Las Vegas right? but I got to be real careful what I do and say from now on though cause ------ we are on the radar:eek:
Please excuse all the spelling mistakes ------- Oh Boy I sure need that spell check working ----- but right now its on the blink ---- Oh well :ohmy:
