A few months ago my father lent me his power washer. He had two caveats: don't run it without water and don't get the tubing to close to the engine. So, I dutifully start the machine with water racing through it. Then, I proceeded to power wash. For about 5 minutes. Then, I burnt up the hose. You see, the hose was an add on, not really supposed to go with this power washer. Well, that's my excuse. So, for weeks upon weeks we'd walk home from the train and see how well the power washer had performed for those precious few minutes... and see just how bad a shape our fence was in. My father vowed to fix this wily machine, which he did. But then I received a voicemail that, after using it for a few hours, he too had burnt the tubing. Decision time. Off to Home Depot to rent a power washer. Unfortunately, our local Home Depot doesn't rent tools. I had to drive up to Fairfield for that. Geesh. While I was there I picked up some mulch and some ornamental grass, which was on sale (I wasn't going to spend a bunch of money on what is not even in our yard). The finished product is pictured above.
