Pressure Washing Art!



So, for some time I have been meaning to pressure wash my house everything considering I moved in about 6 years ago, and have yet to do this. My only problems has been kids, financial stability, laziness and the perpetual humdrum of doing general "outside" housework. In case you don't know me, I'm not a fan.

The other day Maurice informed me that he borrowed the pressure washer from my uncle. Great! - my initial thought. We can finally pressure wash the house, sidewalk, kids white vinyl fence that surrounds the small yard we have. So I took on this endeavor, well really I took OVER the endeavor because I watched Maurice clean the picket fence and it looked...cool.

So I decided to try the sidewalk. It's just a stone cement sidewalk that leads from the parking pad where our cars are, to the front door. It's gray/black... and always looked dirty. No, no, no.. it wasn't dirty - it was covered... plastered... in dirt. Let me just try to explain my amazement with this.... as soon as the pressure washer hit the sidewalk, the color of the sidewalk changed colors. Seriously, it did. I continued, only to realize the immense fun with actually writing on a dirty sidewalk with a pressure washer. It's awesome... I love it, and let Kayla do it last night too. She wrote her name!

This one says 'Love'. The dark part is what the sidewalk looked like before. GROSS!
