This is a picture of the screen porch on the back of the house, every year on or around the 4th of July I take all the windows and screens out and wash them, normally Wendell works on the 4th of July, Nick is in Florida and I am home alone, so I took to washing windows on the 4th for something to do - sounds like a very fun day - huh?! A couple years ago Wendell decided he would help me, so we started doing them a week or so before. Of course if you do the windows on the porch you have to do the whole house! There are 10 windows on the porch, they are storm windows and the screens are on the outside, but everything comes out on the inside, so you have to take all the windows out to wash both sides and I take the screens out and give them a scrub too. There are only 11 windows on the rest of the house, so we just do them all the same day.
Wendell came up with this idea of using a carpenters apron for all his supplies, he washed the windows and I washed the screens - it sure makes it go quicker when you have help!
We started about 10:00 in the morning and got done about 6:00 last night. We finished up with hamburgers on the grill and fresh strawberries, a fitting reward!

Cool, you have a lot of windows..isnt every job better when you have help...Love ya toni
That's a lot of work, but I bet it felt good the next day when you looked out all the nice clean windows.
DH and I do the same thing only we usually do it in August. It is so much easier when there are two people doing it!
