It must be nice to have that kind of money...

Wash them yourself and save!

Don't like washing windows :blink: and I'm too short most of the time and don't feel safe on ladders (Mark might push me off for the GTR)

You dont want Shawn to do it naked trust me... To much glare :(

Hehehe Sorry Shawn.

I had this idea I could stand on the other side of the glass and watch everything wiggle like this --> :blink: as he washed.

How many hours do you expect it to take?

How many windows do you have?

How high are the windows?

Both inside and outside the windows?

Do you have your own equipment and stuff?

Where do you live?

:P

Wait.. How hard can it be to wash them?

Oh, please excuse my rudeness with this.. But why not get your SO to wash them?

If there isn't a Jim's Window Cleaning... there should be LOL I know there are people out there that do this professionally, but I thought someone here may have wanted to do it instead for some extra cash.

To answer some questions raised

I think it would take a few hours, but I've always broken it down in sections, so not certain exactly how long it would take to do at once. Thats why I thought an hourly rate would be fair.

They are big windows, almost all windows are the size of full sliding doors, probably 10 full size ground to ceiling type including sliding doors and another 6-7 normal size windows.

Only outside unless you're keen for inside too. I have my own equipment unless you prefer your own. I live Southside.

Its not hard... I work my @rse off all week and at my age, if I don't like doing it and someone else doesn't mind doing it... well then its a win win all round :domokun:

Issue:

Who's got to be naked? The employer or the employee, this could affect the hourly rate!!!! And how many people would be [volunteer to be] in the window cleaning team vs the skimpy lingerie party being held indoors!!!

Are you a Business Analyst by any chance :)

i would......come all the way from victoria to clean windows for $10 an hour, as long as there is a skimpy lingerie party going on indoors, and that i can come in for some after work "refreshments"

And who would you pay the $10 an hour to? :)

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
