wl- you need to wait for a dryer wood now so that you do not slip or something and it would be nice to do that on in a sunny day but I imagine your the one who wet it so much--lol--having a cleaning "urge". My problem was I got up to the roof and there was a wire cap that I could not remove and the man next store told me that "nothing gets in there with that cap" so my hose idea did not work too well.., some of my bright idea"s here--lol.. I thought those things went sideways so that you could get at it for cleaning but I guess they do not....snowing today and cloudy and dreary and cold too and Happy Easter everyone and you can start boiling the kiddies eggs now, now that's a job and do you have their Easter Baskets ready to go.? clancey
 
This was what I did today, I missed some spots and there is a section that will get done pretty soon. I just have the areas I missed, the middle part and the steps and then the siding will get washed. Once the front porch is done, I'll do the back porch.

Keep that snow out in your area @clancey , send only rain. Happy Easter.

I started cleaning what I didn't get or missed of the TimberTech this morning, once I was done with the floor I started on the steps, that's when mother nature gave me a good morning shower. That was it for me so I put everything away.
 
Taking a lemonade break.

Got rid of the snake pile and now moving the end of the ricks I had on the porch back to the stacks. I don't think I'll need them anymore. Spring has sprung here.

Wind is down today so I'm going to perimeter spray the place with Viper. Scorpions and centipedes are making the wife hurt my ears the last week.
 
I finished cleaning the steps, cement pad and the siding on the front porch today. I still have some areas I'll clean on the TimberTech floor but that will come after I clean the back porch which is screened in. The back porch looks cleaner but I'm sure the weeps holes will need cleaning out on the floor.

We had some nice warm weather this weekend so I just cleaned up the garage. I'm thinking the wood I have left in the garage will be enough till next winter. I'm just getting things ready to start mowing grass and hopefully to start processing firewood. Spent some time Friday and Saturday working the two new labs in the pond working on water retrieves enjoying the 75 degrees and sun. Hope everyone had a great Easter with their family.
 
Went to cut up some of this stuff as it’s been sitting on what I thought was City property right next to the road in my neighborhood and up for grabs for over a week. Cut a few smaller rounds and an older gentleman came out and politely said that was his wood he was just storing there until he could split it. A lot of wood here. Those big rounds are 42-45”
Across . He was kind enough to let me keep the 3 pieces I cut. I apologized for the misunderstanding and went on my way . He thought it was too big for anyone else to touch he said I was the only guy that tried haha.

Unloaded that and move some ash I had sitting in no man’s land into the pull first pile for next season. That will free up some space. Moved some pine into a different pile with the rest of the pine I had.
