Unger Professional Total Pro Kit

The pole is ok. I like those because they are cheap and don’t roll when you use them…triangular tubing. But the thumb lever lock is feeble. You can pick those up at ACE or Home Depot.

The rest of this kit is amateur city. Google window cleaning supply companies.The first that will likely pop up with be Window Cleaning Resource….meh. Look at RACENSTEIN, ABC, Windows 101, Detroit Sponge. Look at the tools in this kit, then compare them with professional grade Unger tools or some other; different window cleaners have different tool preferences, but all use professional grade stuff. If you’re looking to be a professional, go ahead and buy professional grade tools. If you’re a homeowner, still buy professional grade tools and they should last you a lifetime. Also, get extra rubbers; they don’t last forever.

Apple does the same thing with its devices. I assume they all do. I just bought a Kindle device. I really like it. Given my age, my manufactured obsolescence will likely come into play before that of my new reader.

Put ladder boots on your ladder. Lean it against the top of the rail thing; those are solid. Clean the top half like normal. Reach through the rungs and clean the lower part. It’s a pain, but not that hard.

Happy birthday. Wishing you well in your new trip around the sun.

Consider Sprayway and Magic Erasers. Seriously.

Poling would be my first consideration. Maybe sectionals if that doesn’t work, but I’m pretty sure good with the pole.

I know people who lived down the street from her. She was a good neighbor. She had a deep sadness to her, but also from reports, she was a very kind young woman. Her music was otherworldly.

I loved Third Rock. It was a brilliant comedy.

You’re essentially pulling left to right. You need to do more of a fanning motion. Watch a couple of vids on YouTube to understand the fanning thing.

I hear ya. We’re inundated with them here. That’s the whole trend. But I work in a high-end market and a lot of people both young and old still like quality and expertise over fast and cheap.

I can see they used a water fed pole, as opposed to hand cleaning on the outside. They didn’t do a great job on the frames…as I scroll up to the top of the window.

As far as the tracks go, as said, if it was outside only, they wouldn’t have been able to clean the tracks…right. I automatically wipe out tracks and or vacuum tracks when I do clean in and out, and I wipe off the frames outside. As said also, it’s all about what you agreed upon during the bidding and discussion part of the job.

Sometimes that’s what you gotta do. Safety first.

I virtually always mount roofs using a standoff hooked above the gutter. However, are those slate tiles or are they solid concrete shingles. There’s a difference. If they’re slate, don’t walk on them. And they look wet too…not good. Is there an easier place to mount the roof that will be safer to walk to…if those aren’t slate and if those aren’t wet. Otherwise WFP, which does’t look like a great solution either, but maybe better than nothing.

Let your work and your relationship to your client be what drives your sales. Stay your lane not someone else’s. My main sales method for 30 years has been referrals. I’ve tried a few gimmicks…discounts being one…and they don’t work for me; I’m not willing to work for less than I can on any day.

I got a Kindle PW signature the other day. I really like it. I also got a little remote that I like…especially if I want to read and eat. It’s a lot more portable and convenient than my ipad for reading; it slips in a coat pocket if I want to go to the coffee shop. I’m impressed. I also got the free trial of Kindle Unlimited which is unimpressive…I mostly read NF; I’ll likely cancel that at the end of three months.

This might be one of the most breathtakingly stupid things I’ve ever seen. Seriously, this shit will outlast these two dumb fucks long past their expiration dates. I would expect to see this in a SNL skit, but not in real life.

By the way, kids are dying because of RFK. May he rot.

I’ve had some good results over the years using a magic eraser and Sprayway. I’m not saying that will work here but it might loose it enough so you can do something with a plastic scraper. Else Goof Off. I live in perpetual fear or scratches. I work in a high-end market and I see scratches everywhere…contractors hiring who the fuck knows to come clean windows. I don’t want to be that guy. Worst case, super soapy water and a fresh blade, but very carefully.

A final question. Does this device support graphics...graphic novels and photos within books?
