The Power of power washing

Power washing can be soooo EMPOWERING!  Today I power washed our outdoor shower and saved about 75.00 doing it myself.  Power washing (or pressure washing)  rates in the NY Metropolitan area go for close to a dollar a square foot.  Renting one can also be costly but not as much as having the pros do it.
Buying our own power washer about 7 years ago was one of the best investments that we ever made. It's a smaller Karcher with about 1300 PSI.. a great little machine for women to use.. and I have used it and used it... for outdoor furniture, the exterior of the house and the decks. Since the PSI is not so high, I can even use it for the composite decking on one of my decks.  It takes a while getting used to, and establishing the proper technique... but then it's clear sailing.
Now all I have to do is repaint the outdoor shower white...where's Tom Sawyer when you need him!
