Today I borrowed the neighbor's power-washer and started in on the front deck. To my knowledge, it's never been washed in thirty-five years. It took a long time to do a little bit, so after a couple of hours I decided I'd do better working at my desk, billing for my time, and hiring a professional to do the rest. He'll be here Saturday morning.
We power-washed and stained our deck at the lake cottage last May, an project which I hope to never have to repeat! I will say that the deck looks a thousand times better now, and having put so much sweat equity into it, I can sit back and relax on it without guilt. The view does much to aid relaxing: a quite cove, oft frequented by herons and ducks, trees teeming with birds and squirrels. We love our bit of paradise.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy these glimpses of your "pleasant view!"
I need to get busy with ours. The green slimy mold is getting to be just a little much on some of it.
ReplyDeleteYes, hire the professional sometimes...then you get to enjoy "your view" knowing you've helped someone else do their job.
ReplyDeleteWow!
