A Little Spring Cleaning

We decided to get up this morning and do a little spring cleaning around the house. The vinyl privacy fence around the back yard hasn't been cleaned since last summer and it has built up some mildew with all of the pollen we have had lately. We sold our big gas powered pressure washer that I used to wash down the fence, but we bought a small electric pressure washer a few months ago that we use to wash the motorhome with. I got it out and spent the day pressure washing the fence while Ellen did some weeding in the flower beds to get them looking presentable. It sure took a lot longer to get the fence cleaned with the little electric washer than it did with the gas powered one, but hopefully it will be the last time I have to take care of that chore.

The appraiser should be coming out to do the appraisal on the house some time soon so we thought anything we can do to make the house look better may help in some way. Probably not, but that's how we looked at it. The fence sure looks better now that it's clean. It looks brand new again.

We're planning on having another yard sale next Saturday so I guess we'll be working on pulling things together for that in the evenings after work this week.

Until next time...
