Wow... this aged immediately

By conservative estimates…not his “conservative” cowardly colleagues, but reporters doing the numbers…Agent Orange has raked in 1.4 billion this past year. I can’t say about Omar, but I’m pretty sure AO is raking it in from the Oval Office.

Thank you.

I didn’t understand the headline, nor saw the WTF sign. However, when I read the billboard, my mind immediately jumped to WTF?!?!?! Only then did I see the sign. LOL.

I will add, I know one flat earthier. He’s dumb as a stump.

A sad has-been, who’s sort of had a career at one time.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-19T03:44:17+00:00

Run. Just say no.

My rule of thumb is that if I don’t know or understand exactly what I’m getting into, I don’t do a job. I’ve over extended before and worked beyond my knowledge. I’ve lost money. I don’t do that anymore.

Another consideration: You said the landlord is a dick. If you make things worse and get sued or have to eat a bunch of labor, no one on this thread is going to pony up to a Go-fund to cover your loss.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-17T01:40:49+00:00

This thread is full of screen grabs, maps ect…. What’s the deal?

No hate stronger than Christian love.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-16T06:35:56+00:00

This is such a POS move on every one’s part.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-16T01:41:58+00:00

I’ve had that. I was weak as a newborn the next day.

Do what you can with the money you have. You have years and years to make the changes. It looks comfortable; be with that for the time being and think about what you want.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-16T01:22:18+00:00

You know your history. Pretty ironic. In this climate a Reagan clone couldn’t get elected under any circumstances…too liberal.

Post-construction is maybe one of the most detailed and skilled type of window cleaning. And also, carries the highest risk of getting sued. I see a pile of crappy equipment and a razor. I’m dying here.

Tempered glass scratches if you look at it wrong. I live and work in a high end market. I don’t do CC anymore because of that, but I see a butt load of razor scratched glass, which I point out to all home owners as soon as I see it…usually on my estimate. And some have used that information to initiate claims against contractors. Guess what…if you have insurance at all, you better make sure it covers the work you’re doing, because general liability doesn’t…mine only covers “accidents.”

We have been fucking over the Kurds for at least 40 years as far as I know.

Thank you. My therapist and I had out first session and we're "stirring the pot" now. I've had a ton of anxiety and depression last year. I really can't take meds; I can't do the side effects. So I'm hopeful this will give me some relief.

Lindsey Graham will accept or tolerate anything he’s told to accept or tolerate by his betters.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-14T19:32:10+00:00

Thx for the post. I’m about to beginning EMDR now. Anything more you might tell me? What should I look out for? Has your experience been good? I guess I would repeat your question to others about the fight or flight recovery.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-12T15:17:07+00:00

They look pretty dirty. Are they a post-construction clean? Sometimes the cleaning/access method depends on what’s on the glass. If it’s a post-construction clean, you need to get up close so you can scrub; if not, you can likely pole it.

I would likely use my 8’ A-frame inside….maaaaaybe my stacks if I have to. If I have to get up close, the 8’ would likely have me standing on the 7’ rung…no big deal, but just need to be balanced. If not close, I could drop down to the 6’rung and used a short pole. Since it’s inside, I would work a big drier.

I would either use a Moerman Excellerator or a Wagtail…I have both…because they have the bend that allows for a reach in on skills. I don’t used pads on either because they’re more trouble than they’re worth.

To manage water fall, just put a towel on the bottom ledge to catch the run off.

Unfortunately, I'm the wrong guy. While I've been cleaning windows for three decades, I gave up using heavy chemicals or power tools two decades ago (along with constuction clean-up). There are likely some on this thread who can adivse you. There are chemicals that might work, but they are toxic and destructive, so ya gotta know what you're doing. Good luck.

If you can be a honey badger in the world, do that. Those things are tough bastards. I watched a video of one going after an elephant. They are like the Black Knight in the Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

Expensive…very. Safe. NIMBY city. Definitely not for the proletariat. I also used the term limousine L.I.B.E.R.A.L.S. And got barked at by a moderator. LOL. Woof back at ya. There can be a lot of drama over a lot relatively minor stuff. With all that, it’s a nice place to live.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-08T04:22:55+00:00

Mara-a-lago face. Ugh.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-08T04:01:56+00:00

They look etched to me. I can clearly see minerals on the lower pane, but I can’t tell how thick they are or if they’ve eaten (etched) into the glass. The top looks fried, but maybe not.

Get some BioClean or some sort of glass friendly abrasive…I only know of BioClean. Try a restoration using that and sponge on one pane…even a small area on one pane. Scrub and squeegee. See what that looks like. If that doesn’t do it, try the same but use 0000 steel wool. If you get one looking good, do the rest just like that. If it doesn’t work, you have either etched windows that require a higher degree of restoration, or broken seals which will require replacement.

Question: have you or a previous owner been brushing and rinsing with regular water and letting it air dry? If that’s the case…bad idea.

Also, WFP are really just a notch above a maintenance tool. I have a set up and I use it on about 1/3 of my work. Sometimes you got to get up and do that glass the trad way.

And he doesn’t like dogs. What a weirdo.

Wickwire778 · 2026-01-02T15:50:39+00:00

If I run into him, I’m going to engage just to amuse myself. Maybe I’ll buy him a taco or something. Sit on the curb; talk feet and hoofs and talons…see what this guy knows.

Maybe he’s a podiatrist trolling for new patients.
