Teaching an Apprentice to Power Washing a House Like a PRO!

What happens here

Moving to the front door area, the speaker identifies light sensors above the door and warns against spraying them directly, as previous instances have caused damage. They advise spraying around these sensors. Since the front door will be painted, it needs cleaning. Any packages on the porch should be moved indoors before pressure washing. Plants around the house should also be moved to avoid damage. The speaker highlights the importance of cleaning soffit vents and ensuring the fascia and drip metal are cleaned. A crucial warning is given about hornets' nests; inspect for them and knock them down during pressure washing to avoid unhappy customers.

Goal: Protect light sensors and packages, clear plants, clean vents and fascia, and remove hornets' nests before washing.

What they say

these are light sensors right here and we have damaged those before um by spraying directly at them so you want to just spray around those light sensors we don't want to damage those things they're not exposed to the sun but they do oxidize over time and get weak where it's painting the front door so we want to open it is locked so we actually have access to the house we'll go around unlock this we want to clean the front door packages we don't want to obviously get their packages wet so we're going to move those out and we'll actually set them inside we'll move these plants out of the way because we don't want to be knocking over plants over here we do have brick again we're going to want to be pressure washing the brick when it comes to screens you can see this now this screen right here um i can tell this screen is pretty oxidized right here and it's pretty old if you get if you get about this close with a pressure washer to that your you'll actually scar that screen so i'd be really careful we want to rinse it but i'd be probably about you know the nozzle about this far away from that we do want to clean the windows once again here we got vents we want to clean the vents we definitely want to make sure we get the fascia the drip metal there are this is one thing you don't want to miss we've got some hornet's nests up here and there's nothing worse than uh pressure washing the house and then the customer coming home and wondering whether we pressure washed it or not and them seeing hornets up there and then they assume we didn't pressure wash it because if we did we would knock down the hornets and um hornet's nest so we definitely want to make sure you know when we're pressure washing we're looking for hornet's nests and and knocking those things down um
