I mentioned in Monday's post that the windows
in our house are clean and sparkly
thanks to my Colonel!
Our house has tilt-in windows,
BUT...
every time I tilt them in to clean them,
the whole window comes out.
I'm left holding a window with no idea
how to put it back in!
I learned early on if I want clean windows,
my Colonel needs to help me.
He doesn't mind.
At least he tells me he doesn't mind!
Last year when he was in Afghanistan I was only
able to wash the four windows on the front porch
and the two windows on the back porch.
Only because I didn't tilt them in!
So our windows were in need of a good washing.
And the Colonel just took over.
Here he is in the dinning room...
His tools of choice.
A squeegee, plastic gloves and THIS homemade cleaner ...
Don't forget the window sills...
He soon grew tired of tilting the windows in.
I found him out on the roof washing the bedroom windows...
It was a beautiful morning to wash windows...
Have I mentioned before how much I hate THE BIRDS around our house...
Disgusting.
Thank you Colonel for your hard work! Our house looks beautiful!
Do YOU need help washing the windows in your house?
Or do you have a BIRD problem?
Leave me a comment and let me know.

So does the Colonel do blogging friends' windows? 🙂 Mine need it. I don't have tilting windows but we do have birds...lots of them...blackbirds that are quite messy!

There is nothing better than sparkling clean windows! We have had problems with birds but of a different kind. There are times you would think the birds had taken over our porch. Why does momma bird always think our porch is the perfect place to build her nest and have her babies. Now mind you it is not the bird and the nest that is the problem.....it is overly protective momma bird that wants to squawk and fuss when anyone goes out on the porch...that is if she does not fly towards us to scare us away. What is momma bird thinking?It is MY porch after all not hers!!
Anyway... enjoy you windows and you have a beautiful home. And I have the same problem with the tilt windows...they are always falling out on me and I do not know how to put them back in either.

Your home is just lovely and what a sweet Colonel to help wash windows!
I have the tilt in windows, too. I love clean windows and wash mine in and out weekly all summer long. I also look forward to our 'January thaw' so that I can tilt the windows in and feel the hope of spring soon to come. 🙂

Your windows look great. Are they the kind that move forward and backward to clean? Lucky you. And for the colonel!
I am not going to tell you about my windows!
