going to replace a couple of puck lights in the ceiling this weekend. one in the laundry room, one in the living room. it's not fun, but it's easy enough electrical work that I don't need to pay someone else to do it.

I just hate them. Every time I’ve had to use one I’ve hated every second of it.
I dunno man, the satisfaction of seeing dirt and grime disintegrate like that is so good.
I’ve got Canadian geese all over my yard, can’t wait to eviscerate all the poop off my driveway and docks.

Hell.
Dude, that’s why I got the cordless. It also has a spout that I can hang down into a bucket of water and pull from there. No hose, way more mobile.

power washing poop away sounds satisfying
doing like whole fences, house siding, and pavers etc is mega time consuming and I prefer to just pay a pressure washer guy to do it
i used to try but just don’t have the time
it’s messy too

Yes there can be big jobs, but I don’t have a ton of those on the docket. Gotta pressure wash the stained cement caps on my city deck wall though. Neighbor did hers and looks great.
