Last month, I visited my mom in Michigan and while I was there, I decided to get a power washer and go to town on the garage and patio. It hadn’t been done in 30 years, it was time.
If you’ve never had the chance to do this, find a way to try it because it’s the most satisfying project ever. I’d do it every week before any other chore.
I know I’m not alone in this because there’s an entire group dedicated to satisfying power washing pictures and it’s pleasant to look at. Here are 50 of the best before and after pics people have shared.
