What home improvement work did you do today?

I have two of the Fuel, the newest one has one hellatious brake on it. Something I could have really benefited from on at least 2 occasions.... ask my doctor

 

Once those Robin's take flight you could drop 4-5 of those pines and open up that awesome view! Cool spot

 

Git r dun!

 

If you move you Dish you would have a permanent umbrella

 

Totally. That and the fact that my daughter is already planning out a track for her CRF125. I'm thinking I might pick up another one so we can race around on the mini motos.

 

Not mine

 

It gets worse the longer I look at it!

 

Omfg... the flood will be yours if that's a neighbor! Holy fuck someone should call that in and save this dumbasses kids at least.

 

That’s some
Pro stuff

 

"I got a friend that can do it cheaper"

 

We might. At a minimum my crappy pole saw is getting put to work limbing more dead branches or branches that are too close. That alone will open up the view. I would prefer to keep the trees as a wind break and as a barrier to noise from downtown Hot Springs. My next door neighbor has a more open view but also more wind and more noise….. and less privacy. I want to still be able to take a piss out back and not be seen.

 

Got the shed joists built and sheeted today.

 

I power washed a 1/4 of my driveway.
It's a long time-consuming process...

 

Did you use a concrete cleaner first?

 

Yes..
Those first two sections by the house are the worst.
We don't have gutters and it's 17 years of rain rolling off shingles...

 

Would you be willing to sell your plans?

 

Are you using a surface cleaner or just the wand?

 

Been busy and haven't posted on this thread in a bit so- here's what's been happening.
Completed the steps.
Had 6 tons of natural pea stone delivered and dispersed it in 5 days.
Removed the old railroad ties that were just an eye soar and made a continuous bench seat.
Finished the small retaining wall.
Built another small wall to hold the pea stone in place and prevent the pavers from shifting.

Today/tomorrow finish up the side of the garage with shingles and corner boards.

Monday the front farmers porch is finally getting under way.

Only three weeks away from tying the knot and hope to get my shit all wrapped up.

 

Wet it down, put some bleach 50/50 in a pump sprayer, let it sit about 5 minutes, and like @ZPhilip said use a surface cleaner. The wand takes way longer.

 

I'd rather not kill my grass along the driveway..

 

Get the surface cleaner! In addition of being much faster, it keeps the jets at a fixed height off the concrete so it’s a consistent spray pattern and no marks from accidentally getting too close to the concrete.

 

Grass will be fine. Once the washing is done it'll be plenty diluted.

 

I'll look into getting a surface cleaner to finish it..
I forgot about those..

 

My wife got me this one a few years ago. It cut the time cleaning my pool deck from 6-8 hours to about 3. And much easier on the back. You need at least 2500 psi for it to lift properly.

Had some family stuff going on so we’re a little late on the garden but just means we have to buy plants instead of seeds.

 

My pole saw efforts are paying off, can now clearly see the Fall River from the new deck.
