Clean Windows

 

6/30/25 photo reference

It’s embarrassing to admit: In 35 years, we had never had our windows professionally cleaned. We occasionally Windexed interior windows, but never the exteriors, and certainly not the three skylights. Making many, many studies through the bedroom and studio windows upstairs, I had found it increasingly frustrating trying to see through the haze of decades of grime.

Chatting with a friend one day, she happened to mention the window cleaning service she uses and highly recommends. That was all I needed; I called Husser Window Cleaning Service immediately.

Almost all of the 22 windows and glass doors they cleaned included storm panes that had to be removed and cleaned on both sides and screens that had to be removed and cleaned. They also cleaned all the tracks of windows that open.

This room is where I go for yoga and to view Mt. Rainier. When morning light pours in through
the now-clean windows, angels sing.

When Liam brought out the extension ladder to wash the skylights, I went out to sketch him, but it was so stressful watching him move around precariously on the roof that I couldn’t do it! I sketched this from a photo instead.

The next morning when I went upstairs to see Mt. Rainier, I heard angels singing!
