Hi Patrick,
Yes, I believe a once a year window washing is included in our condo fees. We discussed this briefly at our last informal association meeting. Our inconclusive verdict was that Orchard washed the windows last year shortly after residents began moving in (which would have been almost exactly one year ago). Once the association has been handed over and we have control of the money, we can set up a schedule for a yearly cleaning.
As far as the shopping cart, sounds like it could be a great idea as long as it's kept out of the way and no one steals it. You might want to mention something to Michelle about the idea.
