So here we are - the end of another week. DH stated that he wants take-out for Sunday's dinner, so we'll either do Chipotle or China Restaurant. I'm fine with either, but am leaning toward Chipotle - there's more that I can eat there, and it's closer to my home.
I'm leaning toward Chipotle. I think I'll be able to get something I'll enjoy eating there with greater ease than I will at my local Chinese food restaurant. |
Yesterday I had full intentions of cleaning off my desk, but it turned into one of those exceptionally beautiful weather days with almost no wind (enough that I couldn't test-fly my drone in the park, though). I decided to do the next step in my exterior cleaning instead of my inside work. I removed the downstairs extra-long hose and pulled it around, connecting it to the upper yard shorter hose, attached my pressure sprayer, and got to work.
More than an hour later, I was soaking wet from my long sleeves to the bottom half of my jeans, but I got the North and West walls completely done. That leaves me with the Southern wall. The South wall is a bit of a problem child. It's the true two-story part of the house. The computer room is on the west side, the den is on the right, and the ground slopes steeply from west toward the creek on the eastern side of my property. The siding is on the upper section of the house only, with stucco for the bottom section.
My pressure sprayer is probably able to get to the upper reaches of that wall, but not easily. And, the windows are old and too porous. I had to be very cautious around the windows on the west side already, and I'm not sure I can be cautious enough on the south because of the more acute angles necessary. I'll have to try at some point, though. It's the only part of the siding left to spray clean and the house looks 100% better with clean walls. But, I'm hesitant. This part of the job I'll attack with caution, and when I've got plenty of time to be slow. I don't want to harm any of DH's plants below the wall, and I have to be very careful with hose placement in the garden area. Another task for another day. I can still be pleased with 3/4 of a clean house - LOL. (And my stacks of paper are still extant on my desk - LOL and head-bang). Have an excellent weekend and I'll be back on Monday. Slava Ukraini.
