Inch by inch...

...My neighbors have been power washing their driveway and sidewalk for two days now. I don’t know what I’ll do without that sound in my life.

Sorry you’re going through that- it’s addictive. The cocaine of home maintenance. If you want to flex your neighborly communication skills, ask to do a few lines of your own and you’ll understand what I mean.

This is truth. I want to get out there so bad but I know it’s too early. So satisfying.

March is just around the corner baby. However I was gonna wash the siding to get some algae off. Should scratch the itch.

Since working from home, I'm blow away by the amount of local businesses and home owners that have weekly lawn maintenance.

It's unbelievable amounts of leaf blowers on Monday/Tuesday, then power washing mid-week. Every week on the dot. Combine that with the 5 major construction projects/home remodels within a block of my house and it's pretty much f* my life.

I bought a power washer a few years ago. Once you start washing stuff, you quickly find other stuff that need to be washed as well. Pretty soon, you’re spending every weekend washing stuff. The driveway, the sidewalk, the porch, the fence, and on and on. It’s is like cocaine...

My friends driveway had a little moss on it and I got an exhilarating head rush feeling like I could power wash it away like a god.

It's not just a maintenance task, it's an aphrodisiac.

Power washing is so much fun you can’t blame him. You end up with forearms like Popeye though.

Rent them that big ol orbital attachment from the big box store. It will go a lot faster.

But then you lose the satisfaction of that line by line goodness.

Uh, something about the title and the word "neighbors" triggered me into thinking this was a reference to this right here.

Looks like you may have meant to reply to a comment in another thread+subreddit. Removing as this is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
