Confessions of a window cleaner !



My husband is a window cleaner of quite a few years now. He sort of fell into the job when we moved into our new house at the time. We asked a local window cleaner for a quote to clean our windows, fascias and guttering. He nearly fell over when he was told it would be £50 per side. That means it would be £150 for just a few hours work!! And then another £10 to clean the windows on top of that! Well, there was no way my husband was going to pay that. 'I will get up there and do it myself' I remember him saying. Ha, that will be the day I said seeing as he has a severe fear of heights!! I remember him crawling along some scaffolding he hired once to fix the roof with, because yet again he didn't want to pay someone else to do it. Once up there he completely froze and couldn't get himself down! I had to open one of the bedroom windows (through fits of laughter) for him to climb through as he couldn't climb back down the ladder! Even then I had to drag him through as he was too scared to get up and do it himself! So, I hear you asking how on earth is he a window cleaner now then. Well its simple.....he only cleans bungalows lmao. No I am only joking, he has managed to curb his extreme fear of heights and he does get up a ladder now, but only due to the fact he is the tightest git you will ever meet, and he refused to pay someone else for a job he knew he could do himself.

  1. I wouldn't pay that either! That's an insane price!
