    If I didn't clean, it wouldn't get done right...

    I was at the footy last season with a mate of my Uncle's who'd taken everything not bolted down outside to the drive and hit it with the pressure washer. His wife didn't even notice the screens from the oven hood were shiny when she got home.

    Never again
    Hmmmmm!! What's the proverb about learning from others mistakes. If there isn't one there should be.

    But Eli's story gives me ideas. All those disgusting things like range hood filter, oven doors (what else could get into the corners?), Grill that still has molecules of first sausage ever grilled on it, ....Dunny?

    see? lateral thinking. That pressure washer could be the best thing that ever happened to you. Just make sure he turns the clothes inside out before he washes them so he doesn't blow the color off 'em.

    I don't go for pottery much but you have done some lovely work. Love the Japanese style stuff. We're over in Upwey, do you have a gallery around here?

    thats the right idea...keep stuffing up or not doing it good enough untill they wont let you do it and do it themsleves. i've managed to get out of a few jobs that way

    I designed my kitchen and bathroom to be hosed out (floors anyway) - I'm now thinking the whole house should be designed that way.

    Speaking of cleaning sheds, leaf blowers do that job rather well.
    Wood. Such a wonderful substance.

    Hosing out a bathroom (or pressure washing) is a once only experience
    Do it once and never again
