Roomba for windows

Looks like a real waste of time and money. I get all the glass doors, windows and screens in the house cleaned once a year and it costs me about $150. I've got a lot of windows, and some of the windows are thirty feet off the ground. I'll stick with the cleaning service.

Your house just keeps getting better and better.

Because I have lots of dirty windows?

Actually, I was imagining soaring 30 ft. ceilings.

Oh, no. The ceilings are only 10-12 feet. The house is built on the side of a hill. The two-story side of the house is on the down slope, so the windows on the top floor on that side are quite a long way off the ground.

It was fun watching the painters do the eaves on that side. A very funny Australian guy named Gene did it using a sixty-foot ladder.

No, come on admit it - we like it dirty.


Actually, the setting sounds lovely, Howard. And of course we have the amazing view up top there!

It is a lovely (although sometimes inconvenient) place to live. We have just under six acres and the nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away (but so is the mailbox, and I have to load the garbage cans in the back of the truck and drive them down a very steep 1000-foot driveway to the street). And there's always the rattlesnakes to contend with. And the coyotes. And the mountain lions.

From the topic title, I was hoping this was a software product to keep my computer clean.

Heh, a web crawler that eats viruses. Not a bad idea!

Yeah. That is a good idea.
Maybe I should go back to work. You want to help?

I'm still trying to picture what it would look like if this weren't true.

Actually, it's quite common to have the reverse. Two stories on the upper slope and a single on the lower, with a deck on top of the lower story.
