Washing windows at our place is very easy. The windows and doors all open onto one terrace or another. So, there's no climbing ladders. No crawling out on sills. No reaching. No straining.
But I learned yesterday that, even washing these windows, caution is a good idea. After the fact, I checked a number of window-cleaning sites, especially those providing government safety regulations and not one mentioned the problem I encountered.

OUCHY! That is a lesson learned, Mitch! Hope 'everything' is fine.
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteOh, it wasn't a very big prick.
Yeah, cactus. No. No.
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteIt just seemed like too much trouble to slide it out of the way.
Dare I say ... prickly?
ReplyDeleteMichael:
DeleteFortunately, the fabric was a tough nylon. My little stretchy gym shorts would have made things much worse.
To borrow from George Takei..."Oh, myyyyyy!"
ReplyDeleteMichelle:
DeletePerfect!
Mitchell , maybe cleaning windows is easy but it is boring project. I love your cactus wonderful but dangerous like a dog. Watch out!!
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteTruly, it's so easy to do here that it doesn't even take long enough to get boring. But, yes, the cactus is dangerous.
OUCH!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteMy word exactly (although I might have said it a higher pitch).
or...if you are going to straddle the cactus make sure to wear a cup!
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteNow THAT would be a great picture.
Thanks for the tip--never straddle a cactus!

DeleteI can't believe I'm the first to share this.
Oh my. I think we got the point. Well, you did, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteLesson learned.
Hmmm, now that gives me an idea on how to prevent intruders from entering our abode. Thorns can be a man's best friend.
