Powerwashing/Pressure Washing

This is totally random, but hey! That's what a pool room is for. Anyways, I've done quite a bit of yard work over the summer (I'm saving up for a car), and I've found that I actually enjoy one part of it: powerwashing, especially driveways. I mean, it's like instant gratification, at one point its moldy and black, and the next it's a fresh gray. I guess the only downside is it's kinda dangerous, but I'm not the kinda person to "wash" off his shoe with a powerwasher. Does anyone else here enjoy powerwashing? Or am I just weird like that?

You aren't weird. I like it too.

I'm always tempted to squirt a bunny. :/

Powerwashing is turning up a hose really high and squirting a surface with it. Instant cleanliness
The powerwasher I use is actually a 3,000 psi, gas-powered Ryobi with a Subaru engine (yes this is actually true), and looks like an oversized lawnmower with a sniper rifle attached via hose. It's actually my neighbor's, I borrow it for the price of powerwashing his driveway whenever he wants for free, and I get to use it to make money off of other people in addition to my other lawn services. It's a pretty good deal considering the powerwasher is around $650.

Another word for it is "pressure washer". It's fin, I know what you mean. But then you have to wait forever for the mold to come back so you can do it again.

I always feel like I'm overpowering the mold and that it has no hold over me.

Pressure washing is definitely one of my favorite parts of painting a house (my job this summer). Although, I have almost fallen off the ladder a couple of times after losing my balance when I failed to compensate for how much force the pressure washer would actually exert on the wall directly in front of my ladder.

Yeah sometimes there's a little kick to it. The worst part, in my experience, is cleaning up the edges of a driveway, and spraying the dirt next to them. Mud flies everywhere, and you go home with your shins covered with it.

Just finished a driveway today and made $90 off of it! It was a long one, but still worth it.
