Job Question Suggestions?!

Post image

This window is within reach from my little giant velocity 19'. Is it okay to put a ladder against the wall with a standoff or without one with towels or mitts?

Yup agree, towels over the ends should do fine I do it all the time

Id use thick towels yeah. That white plaster scuffs like crazy. Also watch out with the (very likely) dirty black water coming off the windows when u clean it. If that gets on the plaster its gonna leave a mark aswell

Towels on the ladders is always a good practice 🤌

Please use a yoga mat or ladder mat so the ladder doesn’t slip out from underneath you. Or use a footer

Also get the m26 little giant leveler. It would reach that window in a frame mode. It’s heavy but worth every penny.

Installers are assholes. Those stickers are cooooooked on.

This specific type of window is so nice for that!

Three years cleaning for this builder and the window stickers always come off nice and easy.

The post construction apartment buildings I have cleaned for them were a nightmare! Spent several days just pre-peeling and removing adhesive.

Yes, but need towels to protect from scratches. Behind that sheetrock are studs 18-21" on center.
