Just been on lake tahoes Facebook & website, they got over 2300 likes!! doesn’t say anything about yearly cleans though on their website- they offer weekly , bi weekly & monthly . I wouldn’t like to use ladders that high though , looks like a lot of work 😓

Yeah, that is the impression I get. In next weeks film I ask Jamie if she would like Brit homes to work on instead, her response was 'no', they like the adrenaline. It's worth pointing out that Josh is well known in the BMX'ing scene over there, and so this thrill-seeking is what these kids love doing.

I bet it would be great window cleaning in California! Maybe you should take some Windy’s over to Nevada next time to see how they cope  ;D
Is Jamie into ballet by any chance?

That is an idea being bounded about at the moment, taking rope access out of the equation, I heard high alpine work can be extreme and not for the weak. And so filming Brits trying out this type of work would make good TV!

Ballet? Why do you ask lol

Rrrrr, I see now. No, they are not into ballet. If I remember right it was a friend of Lake Tahoe. They would get people to wear hoodies with different backgrounds and in different situations and take great artistic pictures.

Also, we have a new film coming out called Window Cleaning in Chelsea - Mark from Race Team, London, and his all-female crew, tackle an upmarket hotel in the affluent area of Chelsea. Avoiding expensive cars in the narrow street, we get to see this job completed and go behind the scenes to find out what the hotel manager thinks.

Lee - i don’t do that much trad , maybe a handful of internal jobs per month. In your opinion, what is the the best squeegee to use which minimises detailing?
I currently just use an unger standard squeegee but I always have a lot of detailing to do!
Cheers 👍

Americans are not into ballet
They're into wrestling and hot dogs.  And invading other countries to introduce them to the joys of wrestling and hot dogs whilst relieving them of their oil.
God bless America.

Tbh I thought there actual window cleaning skills were quiet poor,the best one I’ve seen on YouTube is Luke the window cleaner with his Mrs,she can clean windows. Americans love there cloths and most seem to dislike WFP.
