    It started off doing my vinyl fence, ~350 feet, both sides. Then I did the deck & railings. Then the patio. Then the granite steps in the yard. Then the sidewalk in front of the house. I was looking for stuff to clean.

    Between yesterday and today, I was a pressure washing motherfukcer.

    Anyone else like pressure washing?

    I don’t mind when washing the cars or back patio, but I’ve got way too much concrete to go full retard with it.


    Anyone know how well those round broom things work on concrete with about 2800 PSI?

    From what I’ve seen, my neighbor has one, it worked just fine. I need to get one for the driveway.

    Whoa, Mr. Rockefeller. It’ll take more than Zima. How about some Bud Light...

    It is very satisfying. Did my marble steps and back patio last weekend. amazing how much dirt accumulates over a short time.

    I must be a lazy mf’er. I bought one last weekend to clean some areas of concrete and flagstone and didn’t enjoy it one bit.

    For lots of concrete, I'd suggest another thing to work with the rotary sprayer … an extension wand. That way, you won't be bending over as much during operation.

    I just spent two days at the father in law's lake house pressure washing the deck and getting the place ready for the summer. It was very soothing.

    Old style pressure washing a driveway is the single most mind numbing task there is.

    Yep, borrowed one last year. Did the house to prep for paint, back patio, walkways, stone landscaping out front, driveway, then found myself out by the road doing the curbs..:crackup:. Much rather do that than mow, etc. Nice to just turn the brain off and go...

    Can’t even imagine not having a pressure washer. Especially when owning dirt bikes.

    Speaking of, I need to pressure wash my wood siding.

    What can I use to ease cleaning? I can't get right up on it or it splinters. Any pre treat or additives that actually WORK?
