But, hey, good window cleaners are hard to find. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-95056 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:23:38 +0000 collingswood 95056@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Jonathan, I will comment as I see fit.

We will see you all around. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94994 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 05:28:11 +0000 Cate 94994@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I don't know for sure of course, but I was thinking SPG that they might be using one of those bike trailers? </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94992 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 04:41:55 +0000 SPG 94992@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>"Hey, gentle myballardstanites, sounds like some good folks are trying to get something going. Save the wise cracking for more deserving targets. Surely, we have plenty of those!"</p> <p>I was completely serious with my question about the ladder. I really do want to know how they got that figured out...surf racks? Super collapsable ladder? </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94988 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 04:01:44 +0000 Jonathan Pryce 94988@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Oh, I'm just a sucker for anything bike. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94987 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:58:53 +0000 ballardgirl 94987@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>There is a guy in Wallinford named Vinnie. He did the windows at a couple of places where I worked. Think he had a PhD from Columbia or something. Just liked washing windows, and did a fantastic job! But I may call the bike guy because we lost Vinnies card, our windows are dirty and we are lazy. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94986 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:55:57 +0000 pennygirl 94986@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>JP...</p> <p>I liked Moses. That's why he suckered me out of major cash at least 3 times. It was the singing, not the washing :-) </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94982 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:52:41 +0000 Jonathan Pryce 94982@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Hey, gentle myballardstanites, sounds like some good folks are trying to get something going.

He charged an arm and a leg, and I swear the windows were dirtier when he was done - but he would chat and sing through the window he was cleaning and bang on it if you weren't paying attention. He walked everywhere carrying a ladder and two buckets :-) </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=6879#post-94959 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:50:52 +0000 20feet 94959@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>How would things be done with non-local people.
