That time of year. Cleaning windows at my sister's complex of condos again. / myLot

All the lower windows have been cleaned. Alli that's left are the upper sections. Some have balconies that need to be climbed. So, unfortunately, what's left is needed to be done by Ken, our one male worker this year. He's the best worker we've ever had when he's doing well. He has restless legs and gets a sore back from time to time but overall a great worker. You can see the balconies next to where he's working.

Holy smoly, I wouldn't want to do something like that, it just looks way too dangerous to me.

I no longer climb that ladder either. And I certainly wouldn't climb and balconies. I've not been up the extension probably since I was in my fifties.

I have always had a fear of heights.

@rebelann I never have and even though I'm more afraid of getting on ladders now than I ever used to be it's not because I'm afraid of heights because I still am not.

I am sure he will be careful on that ladder.

He's always careful. But he has the flu last week, not COVID and had been a bit dizzy since then. We're switching the work to windows in the shade for today. We're going back Friday to hopefully finish the building in the pic.

@MarshaMusselman Sounds like a good plan.

We currently live in an apartment building, which isn't something of which I'm terribly fond. However, it does have the advantage of someone else having to deal with tasks such as the window washing-- which is a pretty extensive task on a building such as this.

That's what we're doing washing the windows for others.
