A nice little Nelson courtyard deck clean, part of a bigger house wash and driveway clean. The enclosed area was covered in green slime, so was pretty much like an ice rink. It's now a lot safer and nicer to sit in. Just need to get that BBQ fired up.

One of Nelson's most beautiful villas got a partial house wash today(the rest will be done once scaffolding goes up) in preparation for a fresh coat of paint from Elite Painters. As so often happens with weatherboard houses, the difference after a soft wash and light pressure rinse is amazing. The pictures don't really do justice to the change !

A couple of long nights at Bunnings in Stoke but pleased to see that the concrete pads outside the drive through, entrance and nursery came up nicely. They really take a battering from vehicles and foot traffic. The team at Bunnings are working super hard at the moment with construction work happeni...

A beautiful weatherboard villa in Nelson came up really nicely after cleaning the decks, paths and wooden stairs. These types of homes generally show the most marked difference after a house wash as the dirt and grime collects on the underside of the boards. There’s nothing quite like a happy owner’s face when they see the huge difference a simple house wash can make.

A lot of care has to be taken though. The weatherboards edges are easy to flake if you get too much pressure on them so our preferred option is soft wash with brushes and a light rinse. If we do decide it can stand up to a light water blast we can adjust both the water pressure on the machine and the type of nozzle we use. Same goes for the window frames, as even modern ones never mind wooden sash windows, are not really designed to stand up to pressurised water jets.

Anyway, a long day and a bit but very happy with the result.

Not too much of a chore, even on a rainy day, to be doing a deck clean in Nelson when you have a view like this.

A house wash at a beautiful Nelson villa with a wee bit of history. A passing neighbour told us that his great grandfather built the house in the mid to late 19th century. White weatherboard always comes up a treat, as do the white picket fences. Nice to be involved with keeping a bit of local histo...

A great weekend of rugby, as we took a couple of days off from house washing, gutter cleaning, roof spraying and all the other tasks that take us on our travels round Nelson, Stoke and Richmond. Our focus was on Trafalgar Park as the Mako men took on Canterbury in the second round of the NPC. Earlie...
