Can't say it bothers me.

Most of the time it's only 7 or 8 feet up.

Don't like it when the roofs are wet though. :-\

A local window cleaner Squeaky knows (John H) slipped off a sloping roof, some years ago, while trying to get onto his ladders in the local army married quarter estate and broke his leg.

He couldn't have fallen more than 8 feet.

The next time you bump into him, ask him; he tells a funny story about it.

Squeaky, don't climb them; especially when wet.  Just knock some cash off the price; or just bill them the same amount and don't mention them; or use an extention pole and do a 'best effort' with it.

I used to all the time when i was traditional.
I slipped on wet roofs a few times but luckily never came off but came close a few times.

But now i have changed to WFP so thats a thing of the past.
