I got one now!  4 hours of pressure washin' in this sunny LA weather can be brutal on a white neck.  That is all.   8)

If you pressure wash your deck you have to retreat it.  WHen I got my pressure washer I went crazy cleaning everything, then I learned I had a ton of staining to do.  :-[

Pressure washing is brutal as it is. Add the hot sun into the equation and it is merciless.

I won't pressure wash me, I might come a part after all the dirt comes off, lol. RTR!

Been there, did that!   :D  This project is the annual 80 foot walkway, and 50 ft of driveway.  ssmith, you are from down here, you know how the mold gets outta hand after just one year.  Hey, living in one of the wettest pacles in the US does have it's drawbacks.   :-\

 :rofl:

I thought this was gonna be about what's killing those da#@ trees.

 :D

Well, it may be part of it - but I'm not getting that started!

Update:

I wuz finishing up the driveway yesterday afternoon, got down to the last square foot or less, and POP-wooooooooooooooosssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  This freakin' hose bursteded on me power washer!!!   >:(

That sucks, under warranty?  You know you have to reseal that concrete after you pressure wash it, right?

It's five years and many many hours old.  I've already ordered the placement hose, found it cheap thru Amazon and "might" be here by the weekend.  What you be talking about with this "reseal that concrete".  I pressure wash every year and ain't never done it.   :-\

How's it holding up?  

Concrete is made from portland cement and aggregate, the aggregate is usually limestone.  All of these are water soluble.  If you want it to last "forever" like it should, you should seal it.  It's super easy, rolls on like paint and dries in a few minutes.

Hmmmm, never really considered that.  What's a good sealant product for this of which you speak?

I dont remember any right off the top of my head, but if you visit your local box store you will likely have several options.  I would recommend not the cheapest or the most expensive and you'll be golden.  It's easiest to roll on.  But you can spray it on with a hudson sprayer too.

I'll have to give it a look-see this afternoon, see what they got.  I probably need to do it.  My driveway is a really light color, an off white, and it looks really spiffy after the annual springtime washin'.  I can seal it down to that last bit whilst I wait on the replacement hose to arrive.  It better get here this weekend because I have several more projects I do this time of the year, and only have the next two weekends before we start having company and family coming in from the yankee part of the state.   

Pressure washers are great, but they don't last long. I've had 2 that tore up not long after the warranty ran out. I had a guy from Lowe's tell me that typically they don't last very long. Anyone know of a good brand known for longevity?

I have a craftsman briggs and stratton that is probably 10 years old.  And my sister left it outside for like a year.  Works great.

This reminds me, I never loan tools, its my policy, nothing personal.

Craftsman ain't what it used to be, unfortunately. They really used to be good when Sears was still good. Hang on to that one as long as you can.

As long as it runs.  Only pressure washer I have ever bought.
