Post-Washing Inspection and Next Steps

or paint failures is your gutters. So clean those things really, really well. I get really close to those things. Hit them pretty hard. But we're going to continue moving right along power washing here. Another tip is don't let your power washer or pressure washer run very long without squeezing the trigger. That's what cools the pump. So I just have a rule of thumb. Never let it run for more than minute without squeezing that trigger. Because I had a de-walt pressure washer that we ran for about five minutes without squeezing the trigger. And it burnt the pump out on it. So that's just a simple little pro tip. We're going to get cruising line right along here, pressure washing. And then we're going to allow this thing to dry. It's about 80 degrees outside. We'll let it dry here in our very dry non-human climate. You can actually come back the next day and start prepping. So I'm going to start finishing the power washing. And here we go. So I just want to quick note when you're watching this video, this six foot extension, you're going to see me using this. I actually love this thing. And one of the reasons why I think bends and flexes and it appears like it's probably going to take more effort to run the thing. But as it bends and flexes, it's kind of like a whip hose on an airless sprayer. It actually takes you'll less of an effort to move back and forth. Then you don't have to find ladders either. And it's just that bending motion and swaying motion just makes it easier to maneuver the gun and stuff. A lot less fatigue. It's absolutely amazing. I absolutely love these things. But throughout this house, I didn't have to get down the ladder. Probably 20, you know, three quarters of what I would have had to get on the ladder. So six foot extension. If you're on a two-story house, it's an absolute must. All right. We got this thing in all power wash now. A couple other pointers. And I'll just talk a little bit about the siding. So I know get a lot of questions. The wood siding or actually, it's not actually wood. That's what I want to talk about. It appears like it's wood. The siding, most of the siding here in Idaho is just on this fiber board. It's an imitation siding. It's kind of like ground up wood glued together, compressed, and then a paper put over the top of it. So it looks like wood. And this house probably should have been painted about five years ago. And so it's really blistered, really bad. And it's kind of falling apart. So you can see when I…
