Without using Google... Manhattan is roughly 13 avenues wide and what, 150 streets long? That's 1,950 blocks. Let's assume that each block has buildings an average of 10 storeys high, with... 75 windows per storey. That's 1,462,500 windows, which seems too low. We'll go with it for now.

I could try and calculate the actual washing time of each window (maybe 30 seconds) coupled with transition time between windows and setup of equipment for each side, then estimate an hourly rate for the workers, plus administrative fees, profit, equipment... but I got lazy and used Google and it seems like the going rate is about $14/window (my lord that is pricey). However, seeing as you're not just paying that for one building, there are going to be costs of travel time between blocks, setting up equipment again, etc., so let's bump it to about $18/window. There would probably have to be some sort of "wholesale" discount, so maybe $16.75/window.

That's $24,496,875. Make it an even $25m. I guess that's what I'd charge. I'm sure I've omitted something crucial. I wonder if at that point it would be more cost-effective to invest in a new technology that would allow you to wash skyscrapers more efficiently if you're going to be doing them all... wash a whole side at once nearly...?

While I admire the sexiness in your calculations, there are close to 11 million windows in Manhattan... Just saying...

Just searched and there's no definitive answer to this... NY Times has it at 11 million, other estimates in the hundreds of millions... unless this is insider knowledge, Mr. New York? I do admit that mine is likely way too low.

Yes I moonlight with the Department of Double Pane windows in my off time... I find the fight to provide insulated windows for all the residents of Manhattan a good and noble fight... Up there with goats for third world countries...

1. I am a child of Reganomics....so Laffer is a solid choice. I spent a week working with Idris Mootee, and find his theory enlightening...? Harvard is ranked #1, followed by Stanford.
2. Central Bank Money or Commercial Bank Money...? Because I have several gold and silver certificate bills dating back to the early 1900's
3. Animal type or specific animal..? I'll infer that you mean type and say Labrador Retriever....specifically my Chocolate Lab Max (RIP) in my avatar.

As long as it isn't Keynes... supply-side it is. By school, I didn't mean a literal school, I meant more like Austrian (yay!), Monetarist, etc.

Well, what do you think of the fact that the central bank exists and of fiat currency, since you have the gold and silver bills?

Excellent choice. I did mean type... the only question I asked that you actually understood

I didn't use Google, okay?? That was straight memory... specifically thinking of the block that Chelsea Market is on... I'd be more accurate if I ran the biz!

Remember - I loan $$ for a living. While I live in Gray for the data, I decision in Black/White....

If anything - recent history has reflected the limitations and weaknesses of the Central Bank. When we have private companies (FI's) that can basically 'hold the Government hostage' - the system is broken.

While I own several gold/silver certificate bills, the redeemable 'face' value of the bill is less than the 'paper' open market value....

Labs are AWESOME See below...

You're living in Nevada during the "wild west" era, what is your occupation and why?

What do you imagine the girls of OT would have as occupations in the same era?

Henry, Sharps or Spencer?

Right that's me at the track before all the workers. Walked the entire track that day early and got some useful input along the way from some of my favorite instructors. Only time car comes out is to be put on trailer for use. Can't street drive and getting out of driveway is an ordeal.

Maybe this will help you.
