Brownie Points (How)
We are now approaching 8 weeks in lock down how have you guys /gals been earning your brownie points,
I have so far beginning in March jet washed all the patio slabs. 1 2 3 Which come up nice after the winter weather. 4 Then decided to give the kitchen cupboards a lift so changed the front doors and draw fronts, from the gloss white look to wood effect. 5 All doors were also fitted with new soft close hinges, so no more slamming of doors or leaving them open, as once you start to close them the hinge pulls it closed slowly 6 7 Stained the decking 8 9 10 The end of the month I may clean the roof tiles off which as some moss growing on them, front fence panels to stain, few pants to purchase and change round we did a couple yesterday my bag is building up very nicely

It's strange how the tasks we voluntarily undertake give us the most pleasure.
I'm doing a similar thing, intended to be in date order, and came across, to us, a wonderful picture of our two lovelies on a rare visit to my early home. The park at the top of Heath Road in Runcorn, that was the scene of some of my, er, youthful amorous adventures in my very early days. Photo is from 1969, some 8 years after I left for the bright lights. From the left, Danielle and Beverly. The hand on the tiller? Celia. I love lockdown.

Anyone using a pressure washer to clean a patio, path or similar you must wear a mask for breathing.
I cannot recall the danger but something to do with spores getting into your lungs from the fine spray. ps, well done Arctic mavafee2 |

All we’ve done is decorate the whole house internally (except the kitchen which was new just before Christmas), clean patio, repair carport roof beams and clean its roof, wash rear soffits and gutters, repair/re-tension garage door. And sort out my toolboxes!! Mrs B has also made quite a few scrubs, and dozens of scrubs bags for local hospitals. Apart from that we’ve been taking things easy. By the way, I was advised against using a power washer on roof tiles, as (it was claimed) it would increase/introduce porosity, and it was better just to scrape them. Old wives’ tale maybe?

More Points.
I have added a few more points into the pot over the last week or so.
First was treating the front fence panel sections. Remove the wooden section. 1 Treat and stain the log effect section. 2 Each section sorted now for the next 12months or more. 3 My next project was to remove the decking retaining edge for the gravel on the front garden. 4a I removed each section at a time in the cool summer evening 4 5 Each section went down smoothly. 6 The rope edge will last a long time, i should have fitted them when i did the front garden about 5 years ago really. 7 Last job add some sharp sand to the slabs etc to fill in between the joints, i will let it dry off a few days and then add some more 8
