after it dries today. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] All right. So, I'm continuing working right along pressure washing. Just going to explain a few other things we're doing. You know, I'm pressure washing the concrete right here because you can see like without the gutters and everything, the new roof, you get all kinds of sand, gravel, dirt. We're going to be masking underneath that, putting cardboard shields under that. We want our masking to stick around the door jam. So, I'm just cleaning off the concrete. It looks good, you know, to the builder, you know, if we clean it off for him. And it's just going to take me, you know, five minutes, 10 minutes to do that. The other thing is is the house where there was no gutters. Um, water was, you know, during the winter time splashing off is splashing not only up on the siding of the house sticking to the side of the house that I'm cleaning, but also the footings. So, the footings are extremely muddy and dirty in a lot of areas. And I'm cleaning that also because once I paint the house, I don't want the footings that are seen to uh look just dingy, dirty, muddy, and everything. So, I'm cleaning those too. Eventually the landscaper is going to run, you know, landscaping up, you know, but there's still going to be some footing exposed. So, you'll see me cleaning the footings, too. Um, I'm all not, you know, really worried about up high except where I see some mud and stuff on the siding. You may wonder how in the crap did, you know, mud get up that high. Once again, I was watching the siders, you know, side out here cuz I was working here at the time doing the interior and they were walking on and cutting the siding, just walking on it. So that's just part of new construction. So I don't want to paint over the mud. I want to clean the mud. But then most of the siding up here is pretty clean. So I don't need to worry about it. So working way way around to the front almost done pressure washing. Literally it would take me, you know, an hour from setup to clean up to do this thing. So it doesn't take a whole lot of time. So let's get back to work. You one tip I'll you'll give you too when starting your pressure washer. The pressure washer is going to be under pressure. If you noticed, it's a lot harder to pull the pressure washer because the uh and start it when the pump is under pressure. So, release the pressure, hold the trigger, and it's a lot easier to pull start. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
