Since that's vinyl siding, is that anything other than just water that's needed to get all that green off? Looks like there's still some left here and there, but it looks dynamite!
Yeah, it’s vinyl and seems to be pretty stained. I just used water but I’m sure a good bleaching and hand wash would do the trick. In any event, it keeps the park off of her another year.

Here in South Florida where mold grows on everything, we use pool chlorine and water in a pump sprayer to soak it down and then follow it up with pressure washer. Easy peasy.

Is it just a humidity thing? We get it on the backside of the house where it's shaded, but nothing close to approaching that level from the pic. A garden hose when we're washing the windows every other year is enough to take off what we have. That pic would take years to achieve!

Yeah I have to say it’s due to the liquid air we have. During the summer, atleast in the Tampa area, I would say it’s 80%+ humidity by 9:00am in the summer. If it’s a flat surface in any axis, it’s going to grow something green on it.

Yup, this year was not bad because the rainy season never happened. The North side of everything gets it the worst because lack of sun.

The back of my house never gets green because it’s in the sun 80% of the day, the front is in the shade 80% of the day and requires constant window cleaning and concrete pressure washing to keep the green off from the sprinkler run off.

That is still better than shoveling snow and scraping ice off the windshield every morning!

Been there, done that. Remember, I’m from the east side of Cleveland.

Apparently I'm so tired after watching our grandson (11 months old) that I'm no longer on the same time as everyone here! Seems I've fallen behind all of you!

See the times of the alerts....LOL

A few of my daughter's records
I really like the vinyl display idea! I’m going to share it with my daughter and maybe incorporate it in her apartment.

While most of my latest vinyl purchases have been hard rock/metal, I do have the Joan Jett/Foreigner/ELO albums that I purchased when they were new! 😀

So we had the grandson at the park today. Hes 11 months....so just started toddling. I took this photo of him on the slide. He's not old enough for that slide, so my wife would hold him, and I'd grab his feet and slide him down holding him.

I suggested to my wife that I could easily crop her out of a photo or two and text them to our daughter saying he's having a blast on his own on the slide.

I'm sleeping in the shed tonight 💤💤💤

(Not really, but I got that look....nailed it!)

You and I were old enough for that slide. Teach him when mom and grandma aren’t looking.

I thought the new (to me) truck I bought had a fixed soft tonneau cover over the bed. So I got some tools out with the intent of removing it to go Christmas tree shopping. I was pleasantly surprised to find it easily rolls up and out of the way.
