Coming up with posts during the summer is probably going to be hard since all I mostly do is just sit around, relax, read, and watch my grass grow. But today was a beautiful day: partly cloudy, not that hot, and low humidity. So I decided to tackle some more home projects. The north side of the house had accumulated a good amount of mold on it over the years. So I decided to give it a good cleaning. I anticipated that it was going to be a %$*# of a chore, but I quickly discovered that with a good brush and one of Santa's reindeer, the green mold came off in a jiffy. The terrible chore was going to be easy but time consuming since there was a lot of it on the side of the house and it went quite high. So there was going to be lots of ladder climbing. I was fortunate that most of the mold was at the bottom. But I still tried to get as most of the side cleaned as was possible. I was able to get as high as 2 or 3 above the second floor window (see picture) and anything above that was very faint and really can't be seen from the ground. Cleaning from a ladder isn't really so bad except for when you're at the top and right up against the house. Don't look down!! I'll probably wait a long time before I clean it again since it will be easier to note where I've just cleaned and since it takes sooooo long to get done with all of the ladder climbing.
I noticed that the south side had a little bit of mold too. It's all at the ground level and that will get done later on this summer. But I always thought that mold only appeared on the north side of objects.
Since I was in a house cleaning mode, I also cleaned the dirty sides on each side of the front door that my older brother pointed out to me the last time he visited. :-)
Hope my next post is more entertaining!!! LOL

a good brush and one of Santa's reindeer? oh COMET...very clever...indeed...very clever. :-)
Glad Kevin commented on the Comet or I would have been asking what you meant. :-) What about renting a power washer? Wouldn't that have worked without all the climbing?
Not sure how strong a power washer is. That mold was thick in some places. But it's a moot point. I did it the old-fashioned (and cheaper) way.
