The power trip

 I bought Scott a new toy the other day, a power washer. He had been telling me how great they were and when I found out you could get one for only $150 or so I thought 'why not?' 

It arrived by UPS one day shortly after lunch and within an hour he had it unpacked and had started his first project, washing the mold from the front blue stone steps. They now look like the day they were installed. 

He also blasted the trim around the porch door. He still has to finish the rest of the screens on the other sides. Yesterday he tackled the old teak bench in the back yard, the one my father and I assembled almost 20 years ago. It looks brand new.

Lastly, he took on the little brick path on the side of the house. It really evened out the color as one strip of the bricks I put down this past Spring. Now they're all the same color. 

This thing is worth its weight in gold!
