This is about as retired of a post there is. Yes, I’m retired.

I could power wash 24/7. I am tempted to power wash my power washer.

What ya got? Your fav.

Cutting grass. Put my headphones on and ride my zero turn mover. It’s like therapy!

Did my driveway and the backside of my house in March. Then cleaned the washer itself.

Late fall project is to do the front half then repaint the stucco.

30 second cleaner works well on the grime on some surfaces but I also used a house cleaner on the hardie board that worked even better. Think I got it at Home Depot. If I were home I’d go look and could tell you.

Yard work and washing/detailing the vehicles. Have my 3M Worktunes on and stream music, audio book, or a podcast and just enjoy the labor. I also have been in the process or redoing the upstairs flooring, closets, and base/shoe trim. After the Summer it will be replacing exterior window trim and some fascia around the back of the house.

I don’t enjoy it, but I still get a lot of satisfaction from mowing my lawn. Bust arse for an hour and sit back and admire the work with a beer!

I hate all of it. The guy in Pennsylvania had the right idea, he just needed a bigger machine.

Power wash. One of those mindless, repetitive tasks that is somehow enjoyable.

Like one poster said, I dont like mowing, but it does look nice, and it's an objective exercise with a measurable outcome.
