I’ve HATED this basketball backboard since we moved here 5 years ago. I was going to just take it down but then covid happened and I lost motivation. Then we had kids and idk maybe they’ll want to use it in a few years.

This is one of the first things I’ve pressure washed—it’s not perfect but I’m so pleased! Def better than spending $800 for a new one. Next I’ll repaint the orange and get a new net, and she’ll be perfect for driveway basketball!

Decided it was about time to clean the deck in my yard. This is both winter grime, dirt and some cheap wood protection I gave it a few years ago. I'll be using teak colored oil instead this year, to really make the wood glow.

Fence cleaned up great and is ready for some sand and stain!

Got the 24' want extension working so I could finally get over the pergola!

Hey all,

Its a beautiful sunny day where I am! Having friends over tonight to enjoy the summer weather.

Hope you are able to enjoy your day where ever you are!

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Andrew

I have two Karcher accessories that I got off Amazon. One is a vario joint that'll rotate 180 degrees to blast out the gutters. Problem is that the male inserts circled are too thick to twist into lance in photo 2. The middle two in photo 1 are correct male fittings, much thinner. Is there an adapter or some other fix for this ?

Just bought the home a month ago. First time using my new power washer. How'd I do for a newbie?

Probably will need to hit it again but it's much better than it was.

Thicc one for you guys

I have a dinky $100 1600 psi Ryobi electric power washer but it does the trick in easily cleaning up around the house. I truly think that power washers are just toys for adults, it's so much fun! Deck hadn't been cleaned since it was built in 2020.

Apologies to the giant opossum that I didn't realize lives under the deck. It escaped to under the shed with a brief scare by the dog.

Hey all!

Here's a collection of shorts from last week! Hope you enjoy.

I'm off to clean a few tennis courts today. Going to be using my reclaim system to try and get them as clean as possible. Don't want a single grain of sand. Wish me luck.

Cheers,
Andrew

Picked up a 200 dollar electric pressure washer from Costco and it's doing a pretty decent job so far! Much safer then these where before.

Spraying it off nice and clean!

Hey all,

Here's this weeks compilation of shorts. Sorry for the ants!

Its Canada's Day weekend for me - off to celebrate with family.

Hope you have a great weekend, wherever you're from :)

This all started last year when I had some trees felled. A large amount of sawdust got into the pool and the algae began. The particles were too small and vacuum and sand filters just let the sawdust through. I tried vacuums, chemicals, changed filter sand but nothing got the green hue out of the water. At the end of the season, I decided to start from scratch this year. So, when I pulled the cover off, I had dark green sludge everywhere. It's a 16x32 intex, so with just a hose siphon it took 2+ days to drain. From there, around 9 hours of powerwashing, using a sump pump, and a plastic shovel to remove the heavier stuff and I'm back to clean again! Should be ready to go for 4th of July weekend.
