Slime and mold is not a problem here, but we have our share of other problems just the same. But, I do know how it feels to get wet from the garden hose.<br /><br />PS. Thank you for your kind comment on my last post :-) My husband loved it especially...Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-9478621577590281542010-08-21T10:06:47.249-04:002010-08-21T10:06:47.249-04:00Bub: Clear blue sky and heat is all we've had ...Bub: Clear blue sky and heat is all we've had since May 1 :P The sky I like, the heat I like, but the humidity kills me. It's like someone just poured water over the rocks in a sauna...bleah.<br /><br />Jayne: Maybe they're more sophisticated out in Texas? ;)<br />My hydrangea is actually planted in the only place that it could be planted on my property lol. That little niche there gives it the perfect amount of sun. Usually. This year has just been so cloudless and rainless. It's getting a little better weather wise, but it's too late now lol.<br /><br />Laurrie: Sure! When we were done, Chuck was like, 'What else can we power wash???' And he actually searched things down to do. lol.<br /><br />Melissa: Well, usually I'm clumsy with power tools too. Chuck bought a leaf blower a few days ago and told me to try it out. Ha! I felt like I was holding an out of control fire hose :P The only thing I was worried about was Chuck getting up on that wet ladder. I really had the urge to get up there for him. A friend of ours fell from one last year and hurt himself badly. And my uncle died when he fell from one earlier this year. But Chuck's up on scaffolding all the time at work, so I can't protect him all the time, can I? ;)<br /><br />RG: Actually, that isn't the toilet in question. I have a feeling it wouldn't go over well if I went down the street and took pictures of the trailer I have in mind with the actual toilets in the yard. The residents might come out throw their meth at me :P And notice I said 'toilets'. Because there are TWO. And they're that 70's drab green colour. This pic was a nice substitute for the real thing.<br /><br />Catherine: You've been having that kind of nasty heat up there too? Bleah. Yeah, the only place I felt the strain was in my shoulders. They felt like rocks the next day. Chuck and I split the powerwashing, usually he just does it himself. But I had a lot of fun. When else does one get the chance to get soaking wet with all their clothes on? :)<br /><br />Laura: Ours got skipped last year. Well actually, we did do the front of the house. It's east facing and gets some of the scum on it. And that side is smaller to do.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-60268537701088816162010-08-21T04:01:19.963-04:002010-08-21T04:01:19.963-04:00Cleaning the side of my house was on my list this ...Cleaning the side of my house was on my list this year.

We have one too because my husband takes any opportunity he can to buy any type of new power tool. <br />My hydrangeas are looking crispy too now. After so much rain they couldn't handle the 90 degree days and the flowers are dried up and crinkly :(Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-6194513125906804632010-08-20T18:58:38.950-04:002010-08-20T18:58:38.950-04:00Wow, that terlets fer real?
