I think I’d love the view either way.

As for the squeegee, we have one that Craig uses on the garage floor. I think we got it at Menards. It couldn’t have cost much since we bought it!

Unbelievably, I have a related cleaning tip. I popped in to a local computer shop to buy a terabyte hard drive and some lap-top cleaning spray. The guy behind the counter happily sold me the hard disk but prevaricated over the spray. “With laptop screens,” he said “Do you know what we use?”
No.
“OK, look, I didn’t tell you this. Try it at your responsibility…”
Sure, sure – what’s the secret?
“Windowlene and a paper towel. Anything else is a waste of money.”

So I tried it. Cleanest laptop screen I’ve ever seen in my life.

That photos is amazing. Wow!
And where does one get a squeegee? It sounds like a brilliant idea.

I got a squeegee from BJ’s for cleaning the windows. It’s one of those on the long poles so I can clean the bay window on the split level of the house and also do the french doors without climbing on boxes, etc. The squeegee is still in it’s box 2 months later because I just haven’t gotten the time/energy to take on the job. sigh.. Props to you for taking them on.
